Learning from the Past, Informing the Future
Celebrating 25 Years and Looking Forward
Over the last 25 years the scholarly communication sector has risen to the challenges set by rapidly
changing times and technology, trends and expectations. This anniversary Retreat presents the
opportunity to reflect on the journey so far, review the questions raised over the years and revisit
major themes in order to respond to the priorities facing us today and to prepare for tomorrow.
Join us in Fiesole as we look to the coming 25 years and, in a climate of dialogue, participation and
partnership together with representatives from across the sector, contribute to identifying shared
strategies to pave the way for a sustainable, multifarious and equitable future in the ever-changing
landscape of higher education, working towards more widespread, open and inclusive access to
cultural heritage and knowledge.
