MDPI Webinar | Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum Webinar 2024: AI in Open Access, 24 October 2024
The 4th Basel Sustainability Publishing Forum brings together thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners to explore the transformative role of AI in open access publishing. We aim to foster a dialogue on how AI can be harnessed to prioritize community-driven knowledge dissemination, ensuring that academic research remains accessible, equitable, and free from commercial constraints.
The academic landscape is rapidly evolving, with AI offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance the peer review process, improve research accessibility, and promote sustainable publishing practices. However, with these advancements come challenges in balancing innovation with the core values of openness and community empowerment. Your expertise and experience in this domain would thus provide our audience with invaluable perspectives on how AI can be leveraged to support these goals.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum Webinar 2024. Please find an up-to-date outline of the presenters below.
