"Beyond technical interoperability? The future of open infrastructures and open access" (11 November 2025, 3pm-4:15pm [GMT]) - Copim

"Copim, SPARC Europe & SCOSS warmly invite you to join us to discuss how best to facilitate interoperability between open infrastructures. Even where technical interoperability is possible – it isn’t always adopted (or realised to its full potential). Technical interoperability requires socialisation, and open infrastructures working together and collaborating effectively. Technical workflows need explaining, normalising and rely on human partnerships and cooperation. In this workshop ask what we need beyond technical interoperability to ensure a bright future for open access research and publication.

This 75-minute workshop will feature presentations from Rosalie Lack (SCOSS), Hannah Hillen & Toby Steiner (Thoth Open Metadata), and Graham Stone (OAPEN)."
