OPERAS will hold its first conference on the topic of “Open Scholarly Communication in Europe. Addressing the Coordination Problem” from 31 May – 1 June 2018 in Athens. The conference is organized by the National Documentation Centre (EKT/NHRF).

Then the main challenge the academic community has to face is how to coordinate efficiently across the different disciplines, countries, but also skills and specialties.
