We are delighted to announce that MDPI has renewed their Silver Sponsorship of the Researcher to Reader Conference for the 2026 event, taking place in London on 24-25 February. R2R is grateful for their continuing support for our scholarly communications conversations, and is confident that is is a powerful marketing opportunity for MDPI.
