More information

Discontinuation of negotiations with Wiley: No deal situation

The negotiations between swissuniversities and the publisher Wiley, which have been ongoing since early 2024, have not concluded in an acceptable Read & Publish agreement that could satisfy all conditions while meeting swissuniversities’ requirements (prices, contractual terms). This no deal has several implications for members of EPFL community.

The Library is expanding its services by offering two new training programs for the EPFL community: “Ethics in Data Management: Anonymization and Sustainability Practices” and “Reshaping Information Research with AI”, as well as a new credited course for doctoral students: “Research skills in the Open Science Era”.
