Lucy and Kate were delighted to attend the OIPA 2026 Symposium yesterday. An invaluable event with thoughtful discussions, practical insights, and plenty of ideas for the future of open institutional publishing.
One of our biggest takeaways was the strength of the OIPA network itself. Collaboration, shared expertise, and collective advocacy will be essential as the sector navigates an increasingly challenging environment.
We heard excellent case studies and advice on advocacy, collaboration, and demonstrating the value of open access publishing. A timely reminder of the importance of making the case for institution-led publishing models.
The collaborative workshop brought attendees together to discuss OIPA's challenges and opportunities, sharing ideas on how the community can continue to grow, innovate, and advocate for open publishing.
