Introduction

How can we envision and set up a system of intellectual property with the capacity to combine the most open access to scientific information with the need for economic sustainability in the university press ecosystem?

How can it be ensured that all university institutions, and not solely the financially robust ones, can produce research and gain access to scientific research outcomes, while a fair remuneration of those who generate scientific knowledge is guaranteed? What is the role of European and American policies in the global landscape of knowledge production and to what degree the radical reformation of the global intellectual property system, but also the structures of scientific knowledge production and dissemination, is needed and feasible?

The Onassis Foundation, continuing its series of events with regards to issues of knowledge production and dissemination in the digital world, and in conjunction with the Technology Transfer series, presents the innovative proposal for the transformation of knowledge production structures by John Willinsky, Professor of the University of Stanford and a pioneer in the field of Open Science, and requests a group of international academics and stakeholders of the publishing industry to comment, discuss, and share their according views. The event is addressed to those involved in the issue of knowledge transfer and open access, as well as the structures of knowledge production and dissemination within society. John Willinsky’s proposals are sparking off once again the discussion around the search for the optimal balance between the protection of intellectual capital and the need for a fair and open access to it, suggesting a model that ensures the freedom of academic speech, a balanced remuneration of its creators, and the sustainability of research organizations and publishers. Are we daring enough to implement it?
