9.00-10.00: Keynote: Non-profit publishing
The European Council’s Conclusions on High-quality, transparent, open, trustworthy and equitable scholarly publishing states the importance of non-profit scholarly open access publishing models. Noting the variety of such models, the council conclusions stress the need for support for the development and implementation of non-profit publishing models.  This keynote aims at exploring how this can be operationalised. Highlighting a non-profit publishing actor perspective on the shift to an open society, the session’s focus will be how non-profit publishing models can be practiced and connected to open science policy and guidelines.

9.00-10.30: Responsible research assessment and Open Science
Calls for a reform in research assessment are growing evermore present among stakeholders within the scholarly communication landscape. In the Nordic countries several initiatives taken in the last years have emphasised the need for new incentive structures considering the transition to Open Science. 
This session will explore how scholarly communication actors can be part of an advancement and revaluation of research assessment and how they envision new ways of assessing and evaluating scholarly publishing. Topics of interest include how academic organisations can work strategically to create new incentive structures for researchers, and how publishers and library support systems best can promote responsible research assessment strategies.
