Frontiers, an open access publisher headquartered in Lausanne, will serve as the main sponsor of the 2025 LIBER Conference, which will be held in the publisher’s home city.
The sponsorship marks the beginning of a broader collaboration between Frontiers and the LIBER community, focusing on supporting university libraries in their transition to open access. The 2025 conference theme, "Engage, collaborate, innovate: libraries working to address global challenges", aligns with ongoing initiatives to foster shared knowledge, open data practices, and collaborative research infrastructure.
During the event, Frontiers will engage with institutional representatives to discuss data-driven insights, sustainable funding models, and strategies to support open access objectives. The publisher’s participation reflects a continued focus on advancing equitable publishing frameworks and supporting library-led innovation.
LIBER 2025 will also provide an opportunity for further dialogue on institutional partnerships and the development of tools that support open scholarship at scale.
