In 2024, the board of the Max Weber Foundation (MWS)<\/a> adopted two guidelines on Open Science<\/a> and Open Access<\/a> initiated by the Working Group Digital Humanities. In the light of these developments and the launch of SeDOA, as national service centre for Diamond Open Access, in which MWS participates, we organised an event bringing together experts from various OA initiatives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Access<\/strong> (OA) is no longer just an idealistic concept\u2014it has become an established practice<\/strong> that has developed in distinct ways across disciplines and publication cultures. But which business models<\/strong> have proven successful? What challenges arise in terms of funding, infrastructure, and quality assurance<\/strong>? And what can we learn from existing initiatives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event aimed to explore different OA business models, regional <\/strong>and disciplinary variations<\/strong>, and best practices<\/strong> through concrete examples. Through concise pitches<\/strong>, the invited speakers shared their experiences with Open Access publishing, covering a diverse range of topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session concluded with an open Q&A discussion<\/strong>, allowing participants to engage directly with the experts and explore the implications of different OA models for their own work. All interested colleagues were invited to join the conversation and gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of Open Access publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
