Title: "Open Community approaches to Education Publishing and Research - a look into the recent past.”

Abstract: "Open Education, Open Publishing and Open Research have been holding strong promises and received widespread public support. A look into the recent past shows however, that much of such promises have apparently not been realized. Instead, and much like the music, content, social network and software industries, it seems that after a relatively short time of liberty and freedom, the commercial forces have come back to play and taken full advantages to join the Open Hype Wave.”

Biography: Dr Andreas Meiszner is a seasoned portfolio worker who worked across a number of sectors and functions. In two of his most recent portfolios he has tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid to seniors, aged 35 to 70), first with the University of Liverpool (UK), and since 2016 also with the DoctorateHub. 500+ students imply 500+ workplace-based problems from 500+ organizations from across the globe. This allowed Andreas to understand how to tackle problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked.
