Call for Posters

The 3rd Global Summit on Diamond Open Access invites poster submissions for its dedicated Poster Sessions, to be held during the Summit from 2–6 February 2026 in Bengaluru, India.

The overarching theme of the Summit is: “Collaboration for Equitable Digital Infrastructures and Knowledge Commons in Agriculture and Broader Scientific Research Systems.”

The Summit brings together researchers, institutions, policymakers, infrastructure providers, and community-led initiatives to strengthen equitable, sustainable, non-commercial scholarly communication systems across disciplines and regions.

Purpose and Scope

The Poster Sessions are intended to showcase grounded experiences, practical innovations, and evidence-based case studies related to Diamond Open Access.

Posters should reflect the principles of Diamond Open Access – no fees for authors or readers – and demonstrate commitments to equity, sustainability, multilingualism, bibliodiversity, and community governance.

Contributions from the early-career researchers, scholarly societies, and public infrastructures are particularly encouraged.

Poster Themes

Submissions may address one or more of the following themes, with a focus on national, regional, or community-level practice:

  • Open Access policy implementation at institutional, national, or regional levels
  • Innovations in Diamond Open Access, including technologies, workflows, governance models, and open infrastructures
  • Discipline-specific applications of Open Access, including:
    • Agriculture, food systems, and climate change
    • Medicine, public health, and life sciences
    • Engineering, technology, and applied sciences
    • Humanities, arts, and social sciences
  • Inclusive and responsible research assessment frameworks, including alternatives to metric-driven evaluation
  • Equitable knowledge dissemination models that recognise diverse knowledge systems, including indigenous and community-based scholarship
  • Collaborative Global South–Global North partnerships supporting sustainable, community-owned publishing ecosystems

Posters should also engage with broader Summit priorities such as public digital infrastructures, equity and multilingualism, bibliodiversity, and long-term sustainability of Diamond OA.

Two in-person poster sessions are scheduled as part of the Summit programme:

  • Poster Session I:
    Day 3 – Wednesday, 4 February 2026 | 16:30–17:30
  • Poster Session II:
