Thursday 12 September, 11:35-12:20
"Cultivating Diversity in Culture within Publishing Houses"
As part of our Internationalization & Diversity strand, this session will tackle the issues of how to create a truly diverse culture within the scholarly communication industry, combat biases and detail misconceptions
about working with people of different abilities and life circumstances. Our speakers are:
• Sioux Cummings, Programme Specialist, INASP

Thursday 12 September, 14:00-14:45
“New Horizons in Open Research: Innovation in open books”
In a series of lightning talks, our speakers for this session will showcase new solutions for scholarly book workflows and publication that support researchers whose outputs are outside the well-developed journal
systems and who rely on books and monographs to share and publish their work. Our speakers are:
• Chair: Simon Ross, CEO, Manchester University Press
• Anke Beck, CEO, IntechOpen
• Heather Staines, Head of Partnerships, MIT Knowledge Futures Group
• Alison McGonagle-O’Connell, Editoria Community Manager, Coko Foundation
