At this 8th meeting, we are pleased to welcome speakers from two countries, Finland and Germany, who will share their national progress. Finland will present its ongoing implementation of a rights retention strategy across universities, while Germany will discuss its current landscape and emerging directions and preview activities on rights retention commencing in 2026 as part of a national open access project.
