The OASPA 2025 Annual Conference will be held on September 22-24, 2025, at the Irish College Leuven, Belgium, will convene the global open access community to explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of achieving 100% open access. This pivotal event will critically examine the implications of this ambitious goal, including potential trade-offs with quality, sustainability, inclusivity, and research integrity. Participants will engage in discussions on whether "100%" is the appropriate metric, the impact of geopolitical factors, and the potential for unintended consequences in the transition from paywalled to open access models. The conference aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts and practitioners to shape a sustainable and equitable future for scholarly communication.
