Book a workshop

We would be happy to hold a workshop for your institute, graduate college or other institution on topics related to scholarly publishing and Open Access. The content and duration can be agreed according to your wishes - from a 15-minute input at an institute meeting, a session in a course to a half-day or full-day workshop.

If you would like to gain an insight into the topic of Open Access in a playful way, we would be happy to come to you with our Open Access Escape Room.

The following topics, among others, are available:

Open Access in general: what is Open Access, why is Open Access important, what are the options for Open Access publication?
Secondary publications: legal framework, repositories, preprints
Financing Open Access: payment of article processing charges (APCs), contracts with publishers (e.g. DEAL), financing Open Access books
Funding requirements for Open Access: what requirements do funders have, how can they be met?
Publishing theses: as monographs, cumulatively
Open Access books: possibilities, models, funding
CC-Licences: What licenses are there for text, data, and software, and what do they allow me and others to do?
Predatory Journals: How can you distinguish legitimate from dubious journals? What quality criteria exist and what are predatory journals?
Research data: How to find, edit and publish research data
Publication of journals: Do you want to transform your journal to open access and are encountering obstacles? We'll help you get these out of the way.
Open Access in Higher Education: Which freely accessible international sources and specialist literature can be used? How can I provide educational materials in a legally compliant manner? We support you in integrating Open Science practices into your courses.

If you are interested in an event, please send us a non-binding enquiry by e-mail with your contact details, details of the institution, your preferred topics and your preferred dates. We will then contact you immediately for further coordination.
