The Berlin Open Access Conferences
The Berlin Open Access Conference Series convenes leaders in the science, humanities, research, funding, and policy communities around The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities.
To support continued adoption of the principles outlined in the Berlin Declaration, as well to track progress on their implementation, the original signatories agreed to support regular follow-up meetings. As a result, Berlin Open Access conferences have been convened annually since 2004. The conference series now takes place in locations around world; to date Germany, Switzerland, England, Italy, France, and — most recently, China — have hosted this prestigious gathering.
Berlin 9 is the first of the annual meetings to take place in North America.
