Diamond ERA: From Vision to Implementation – A New Definition of Openness in the European Research Area

"What if Europe’s next research framework could finally break science free from paywalls, profit-driven publishing, and foreign data dependence? On December 4, 2025, policymakers, researchers, and infrastructure builders gathered in Brussels to turn the vision of Diamond Open Access into a concrete political and legal reality. The conference Diamond ERA: Fostering Openness in the European Research Area, organized by the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IBL PAN) and the Polish Science Contact Agency (PolSCA PAN), in cooperation with the Committee on Literary Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the OPERAS research infrastructure, was held in the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU."
