Date: 10 and 11 April 2025
Location: The Milstein Room, Cambridge University Library (UK), and online
The third instalment of the Radical Open Access Conference focuses on the relationship between openness and activism, exploring what is next for radical forms of open access by addressing questions around publishing and social justice that those connected to the Radical Open Access Collective (ROAC) have been putting forward for years.
