The European Diamond Capacity Hub & the ALMASI EU funded Project will hold a joint event on the 14th and 15th January 2025 in Madrid, Spain, to mark the announcement of their launch.
At the event, the key features of the European Diamond Capacity Hub will be presented, along with a range of opportunities for active participation and collaboration. The role of the ALMASI project in the global Diamond Open Access landscape and its component elements will be introduced. The registration for the in-person event is open until 16 December 2024 (12:00 PM CET).
The European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) aims to strengthen the Diamond OA community in Europe by supporting European institutional, national and disciplinary capacity centres and Diamond publishers and service providers in their mission of Diamond OA scholarly publishing. By providing coordination, sustainability, training modules, technical tools, and services at scale, the EDCH provides valuable resources to these Diamond stakeholders. In doing so, the EDCH answers the need for capacity building in the Diamond OA community that was expressed in the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access.
