Supporting those who work behind the scenes in Diamond Open Access publishing is essential to ensuring the sustainability and vitality of this ecosystem. But how can we equip them with the necessary skills to meet these challenges? The answer lies in providing accessible, flexible, and tailored training designed for their specific needs.
This is precisely the mission of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) Training Platform: to offer free, practical learning modules specifically developed for Diamond Publishing Services and Technology Providers. The platform delivers targeted training across the seven components of the Diamond Open Access Standard, helping individuals and organisations build their capacity within this growing movement.
Finding time for training can be difficult amid daily demands. That’s why the 
season can present an ideal opportunity to invest in this essential development! When the usual pace slows down, it becomes possible to take a step back and focus on key topics such as:
- Strengthening editorial workflows
- Rethinking how we publish
- Improving how content is shared and found
- Learning how to support others in turn
The EDCH Training platform meets these needs with an expanding collection of self-paced courses and reusable resources designed to address real-world challenges. Whether you are new to the field or an experienced professional looking to mentor others, this platform provides a collaborative and supportive learning environment.
For those who missed the launch webinar, full recordings are available in both English and French, providing an accessible introduction for all:
