Registration is now open for the PKP 2025 AGM! Discover the latest in open scholarly publishing, connect with the community, and shape the future of open access. Please join us on Tuesday, June 17th, 2025, at 9 AM PDT.
The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) continues to thrive thanks to the collaboration, innovation, and global support of the international community. From developers and librarians to editors and scholars, our ecosystem of contributors makes everything possible — including our open-source platforms like Open Journal Systems (OJS), Open Monograph Press (OMP), and Open Preprint Systems (OPS).
We invite you to be part of our 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM), an essential gathering that offers updates on our progress throughout the 2024 fiscal year and looks ahead to PKP’s next chapter in open access leadership.
Registration is now open! Click here to register to the 2025 PKP AGM.
