just had this convo with my colleage @barbarahissa.bsky.social - we have too many examples of wonderful, open infrastructures that unfortunately are not being used by researchers - how to engage them?
I haven't seen too much on author engagement in the discussions around the construction of European Diamond OA infrastructures. I would love to know the organic appetite for all of these services and/or any incentives that are being used to 'drive' their uptake.

💬 #EDCHVoices – What would a logo for #DiamondOA look like?

There’s no shared symbol yet, but as #DiamondOA grows, so does the need for a clear visual identity. Something that reflects its values: #openness, #equity, #collaboration.

Simple? Symbolic? Playful?
👉 Add your voice:
Diamond OA logo
I can’t find an allround usable logo for Diamond Open Access in general. Would it be an idea for the EDCH to have one designed and make it available through Wikimedia Commons?
