R2R is delighted to announce that MDPI has renewed its Silver Sponsorship of the Researcher to Reader Conference for 2027.

We are very grateful for MDPI’s continued support of R2R and our scholarly communications conversations, and are delighted to welcome them back to the Conference once again.

MDPI is a pioneer in scholarly, open access publishing and has supported academic communities since 1996. Based in Basel, Switzerland, MDPI’s mission is to foster open scientific exchange in all forms, across all disciplines. Its diverse portfolio of peer-reviewed, open access journals is supported by a global network of academic experts who share MDPI’s commitment to providing high-quality service for authors.

Our sponsors provide invaluable support for the Conference, helping us to keep registration prices lower and making R2R accessible to a broad community of professionals across scholarly communications.

The Researcher to Reader Conference 2027 will take place on 23–24 February 2027 in London.

Registration will be opening soon. We look forward to welcoming MDPI and the wider research and publishing community back to R2R in February.
