VBC postdoc symposium on publishing models - Vienna BioCenter

On Thursday the 5th September 2019, the Vienna BioCenter Postdoc Symposium on Publishing Models took place. The reason for organizing it was the realization of how little early-career scientists know about publishing models, Open Access and why it is actually relevant. 

As organizers, Ulises Rey and Mara Andrione, gathered the postdoc community to discuss about these topics with experts from Austria and abroad. Invited speakers were: Karlo Pavlovic (Max Perutz library), Christian Gutknecht (Open Access activist), Gareth O’Neil (Plan S ambassador), Katharina Rieck (Open Science manager at the Austrian Science Fund FWF), and Christa Schleper (professor at the University of Vienna). 24 postdocs from the Vienna BioCenter were present, with all four research institutes represented.
