ALMASI (Aligning and Mutualizing Nonprofit Open Access Publishing Services Internationally) is inviting policymakers and funders from Africa, Europe, and Latin America to join the 1st Forum on Diamond open access. 

The new ALMASI Diamond OA Policy Forum brings together international, national and local policymakers and funders in the three regions that the ALMASI project addresses: Africa, Europe and Latin America. The aim of the Forum is to discuss nonprofit scholarly publishing policy and funding needs, progress and challenges. 

• Date and time: 29 October 2025 at 15:00 – 16:30 UTC (convert to your time zone)
• Registration: You can register here

The programme for the first Forum includes a helicopter view of the non-profit publishing landscape in the three regions; a panel where national and institutional policymakers will discuss policy and funding successes for non-profit publishing in each of the three regions, and discussion with participants on how the Forum can serve the regional interests of Africa, Europe and Latin America.
