About the session

Plenary Session 2 Main Auditorium

Research funding, support and reward Main Auditorium Chair: Charlie Rapple Kudos.

Chris will expand on her Insights article where she discusses the broad and complex funder open access (OA) policy environment in the UK and describes some of the challenges libraries face in providing frictionless services to support academic compliance. She offers a view on the actions of publishers in this policy environment, as well as outlining how strategic discussions have moved beyond the library to include the whole institution. She will then go on to work being led by Imperial College London to develop a new OA policy and licence which will support academics and institutions with compliance and HEFCE Research Excellence Framework eligibility in a single step.
