Dear B15 cohort members,

On behalf of the University of California and OA2020 Initiative, we are pleased to share with you the attendee information packet for the 15th Berlin Open Access Conference (B15): Adapt and Advance.

Since 2003, the Berlin Open Access Conference has explored the potentials of our digital environment to transform scholarly communication and “build a future-proof, flexible, open, and high-quality scholarly and scientific publishing system.” Over the years, the persistence of subscription paywalls prompted the creation of a global alliance dedicated to accelerating the transition to open access; the focus of the Berlin Open Access Conference series now centers on viable strategies to replace the existing subscription business model with transparent and sustainable open access models.

The international cohort of the 14th Berlin Open Access Conference (2018) affirmed the importance of transformative agreements in accelerating the open access transition and today we can observe the progress made with transformative agreements in just a few short years. As we progress in our strategies, each step elevates us to a new vantage point revealing a new set of challenges. At this juncture, in 2021, we are therefore convening various stakeholders and decision-makers—including higher education and research administrators; library leaders; academic communities and faculty governance; research funders; and ministries of research, education and innovation—involved in further adapting, improving and advancing transformative open access agreements for the betterment of the research enterprise. As detailed in the agenda that follows, the B15 plenaries will consider transformative open access agreements in the context of heightened budget pressures, equity and scholarly communications, and the growing variety of transformative models being implemented worldwide.

As a B15 attendee, we ask that you use this conference as a springboard for further action, partnership and change.
We look forward to seeing you at B15.

Many thanks,

Gerard Meijer, Director and Scientific Member, Fritz Haber Institute, Max Planck Society, Berlin (B15 Track B Conference Chair)
 Günter Waibel, Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director, California Digital Library, University of California (B15 Track A Conference Chair)
