As we approach the end of another productive year, we’d like to take a moment to wish you a peaceful and restful holiday season. May this time bring you the opportunity to pause, reflect, and recharge for the exciting year ahead.

2024 has been a vibrant year for AEUP. We were proud to contribute to the Diamond Open Access movement with a presentation at the OPERAS conference and a poster at the Munin conference, which is now available for you to use. We also hosted an open board meeting at the BiblioCon conference, emphasing our interconnection with reserach libraries. These activities are a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication of our community.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce that the 4th AEUP Conference will take place on 22–23 May 2025 in Vienna, Austria. Under the theme “Sustaining the Flow: Keeping the Pages Turning in Scholarly Publishing,” the conference will focus on strategies for sustainability and resilience in our dynamic field.

Stay tuned for further details in the coming months, including program highlights and registration information. For now, we encourage you to save the date and start planning to join us for this important event.

Thank you for being a vital part of our community. We look forward to continuing to work together in the new year.
