Welcome Message
In 2021, all research supported by participating Coalition S funders must be published in open access journals and platforms compliant with Plan S principles. Although great progress has been made to date by all stakeholders in implementing these principles, many challenges still remain.

Plan S attempts to combine thought-leadership, funder coordination and other stakeholder engagement in ambitious ways. First initiated by the European Commission and Science Europe, it nevertheless seeks to set a route for the development of scholarly communications globally, including in the Global South and Asia. Ripples have been made throughout research policy in general beyond Plan S affiliates and supporters, and one of its most important contributions has been to spark renewed debate among stakeholders globally on the future of the scholarly communications landscape:

- What are the necessary adaptations for both legacy and more recently emerging stakeholders to preserve and evolve their roles most effectively?

- What new alliances can be forged along the entire workflow of research and discovery, peer-review and sharing - locally and globally?

- How can novel and existing infrastructures expand the engagement with - and transparency of - this workflow?

The 3rd Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum is intended to bring together stakeholders from across the scholarly communications landscape to discuss the progress of the transition to open, looking to Plan S and other approaches more generally supporting Open Science. The conference will present the different perspectives of policy makers, libraries and publishers and serve as a forum for sharing common challenges and solutions at a time when the discussion on the future trajectory of scholarly communications has never been more prominent, or vital. As the focus moves from subscriptions to APCs, the forum will present global perspectives, and explore some of the new inequalities faced by research communities.

Looking to the future, as more parts of the research workflow become open, the forum will also explore the challenges of operating in an open world and will provide an update on initiatives that have been developed to help communities navigate an open landscape. Topics will include open research infrastructures, preprints and open data.

We would like to invite all relevant stakeholders within the research and scholarly communications community to join us and share their experiences, views and opinions.

We look forward to welcoming you to our virtual conference!
