Build the Skills to Create Powerful Partnerships in Publishing

This one-day workshop will focus on core skills common to many roles working with Strategic Partnerships: anyone working to bring together academic publishers with institutions, universities, societies, platform providers, policy makers, industry governance and more.

Building strategic partnerships is critical for publishers, from sharing knowledge and enhancing resources, to increasingly operating as policy actors, through convening dialogues and editorial agenda-setting.

Good publisher-led partnerships can both boost business health and go further to re-build public trust in science.

What does it take to build the right strategic partnerships? Dive in with expert speakers to introduce the topic and workshop with peers on developing core skills you need to excel in driving partnerships.
