25 experts from all continents except Antartica gathered in New York in September 2024 under the auspices of the IMU and upon invitation of the Simons Foundation to discuss recent developments in mathematical publishing in a very broad sense. Rather than a classical scholarly meeting, the participants understood their active participation as a service to the global mathematical community with the following goals:
Five major points of interest & action were identified prior to the meeting and served to structure the workshop. Clearly, the topics 3) and 5) were more of a strategic nature, while identifying concrete actions were the goal of topics 1), 2), and 4):
This was the first in-person meeting on Publishing in the mathematical sciences since more than 5 years, and for many people it was their first opportunity for a personal encounter. It was extremely fruitful and we believe that it will be the starting point for many further activities and discussions.
A recording of the plenary talks is available on the webpage of the Simons Foundation:
