A stack of stickers, flyers, and business cards are ready to go!

We are blogging from the train this morning on the way to Hannover for the Open Science Festival. It is exciting to be on the road again after years of pandemic lockdowns and Zoom webinars. But we are also happy that some digital conferences in the mix let us be flexible and save carbon.

The next few months are going to be busy. We will continue to develop new products, onboard new customers, and publish open-access content. From trains, planes, and hotel rooms, we will be there for you. We are looking forward to meeting you this fall in person or online! Drop us an e-mail to set up a meeting.
