This session will be presented by experts from the open research community. Who should attend Anyone in the higher education community interested in ensuring the future of key open infrastructure services. Background As we set up national networks, mandates, and other initiatives to support and promote open research, we must not forget another critical element: open infrastructure. In the ‘open’ context, “infrastructure” (the "structures and facilities") refers to the scholarly communication resources and services, including software, that we depend upon to enable the scientific and scholarly community to collect, store, organise, access, share, and assess research. Open infrastructure provides the foundation for keeping costs down and quality high, ensuring community-driven development. But who funds open infrastructure? And how do we create a sustainable future for these services?
