Panel Discussion: How are publishers making sustainable business models by giving content away for free?

Join us for a lively discussion on the future of publishing across higher education and the creative industries. Expert panelists will discuss and debate the challenges facing publishers and new opportunities to transform business models in the digital age.

In this panel, you will hear from academic and industry experts about successful experiments over the past decade in developing new, open access business models. In bold transformations of existing publishing systems, these innovative new models are finding sustainable ways to give content away.

QUT’s IP & Innovation Law Research Group presents an opportunity to hear how institutions and businesses have flipped their business models to release their work for free to the public at large, including:

How Knowledge Unlatched has created a consortium of hundreds of libraries to release academic books for free online;

How CERN brought together over three thousand libraries to flip the subscription models of academic journals and make higher energy physics research accessible to the world.

How textbook publishers have helped governments redirect funds from purchasing to create much needed free and open education textbooks in maths and science.

Guests include:

A/Prof Lucy Montgomery, Curtin University and Research Director, Knowledge Unlatched

Dr Carina Bossu, University of Tasmania

Dr Virginia Barbour, Australasian Open Access Strategy Group
