The major theme for this year’s Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) meeting will be next generation repositories. The meeting will focus on strategies for positioning the international network of repositories as the foundation of a global knowledge commons. The meeting will provide participants with the opportunity to learn about international trends in repositories, open access and open science, as well as engage with colleagues from around the world and pursue collaborative projects with international partners.
