June 13 - The future of open publishing: Launch of Politics of the Low Countries

Join us for a roundtable discussion on the importance of open publishing in academia. This session marks the launch of Politics of the Low Countries (PLC) in its new diamond open access model with Radboud University Press.

We will explore the opportunities and challenges of open publishing and discuss the role of funding bodies in shaping its future.
