As publishers continue to provide free and speedy access to vital research during a time of continued global pandemic, we are starting to gain a deeper understanding of how the industry can adapt to continue to successfully advance research worldwide in a post COVID-19 world.

This year’s STM Frankfurt Virtual Conference will explore the opportunities and challenges that exist both inside and outside of our businesses. From the continued advancement of Open Science and the dangers of a transition which widens the knowledge gap between North and South to the perpetual need for high quality, trusted research – particularly during times of global crisis.

Attracting the leading figures from across scholarly and professional publishing, STM’s event provides a program focused on strategic thinking, public policy, business models and key drivers shaping the future of the STM industry. A not-to-be-missed event for publishing managers, executives and industry leaders, which is relevant to international attendees from all sizes of organisations.
