A group selfie in a relatively empty bar, with a night sky in the background out of the window, including Joe Deville, Anna Dowrick and Julien McHardy, all smiling at the camera
A rare chance for a mini-mattering-meeting at the #CopimConference, where @joedeville.bsky.social opened the event talking about his work with @copim.bsky.social & Julien McHardy is speaking about the possible futures of #ScholarLed publishing. Joined by Mattering co-editor @annadowrick.bsky.social
As a PhD student studying open access and then an OA librarian I have been v disillusioned with the whole project but the work produced by Copim over the last few years has really provided something to enage with again #CopimConference
I needed several screens to keep up with the different platforms and posts!
And the #MORPHSS team will be presenting online on the future of open research in humanities and social sciences

#CopimConference - thatโs a wrap! Two days well spent, celebrating the spirit of the @copim.bsky.social community & enjoying time together in person โจ Letโs all keep up momentum and continue exploring the future of community-led #OAbooks
Thanks for all your support and hard work contributing to both the success of the conference and the Open Book Futures project!
Heading home after a really energising and thought-provoking couple of days at the @copim.bsky.social conference. Huge thanks to everyone involved for organising such an inspiring programme celebrating the valuable work done by both Copim and #OpenBookFutures ๐ #CopimConference
Thank you for such a fantastic two days #CopimConference. The infrastructure work you have done has been transformative for presses like @lsepress.bsky.social but just as important has been the community you built and comradeship you fostered - and long may that continue.
