Discussion (one hour) with UK and US scholarly book publishers, Charles Watkinson (University of Michigan Press, Fund to Mission - see a short video) and Anthony Cond (CEO, Liverpool University Press, Opening the Future), on new open access (OA) business models. The discussion focused on university presses.

This is the first in a series of discussions launched by SUPRR (Supporting Ukrainian Publishing Resilience and Recovery) and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, in collaboration with EIFL. The aim of the series is to explore how Ukrainian monograph publishing can move to sustainable OA practices and how such models can be used or adapted to Ukrainian circumstances.

The discussion was chaired by Frances Pinter of SUPRR, and translation into/from Ukrainian was provided.
