The Open Book Futures project launched in May 2023, and is set to run until April 2026. The project is funded by Arcadia and the Research England Development (RED) Fund. The research project builds upon the pioneering work of the COPIM project (2019–2023), and is led by Lancaster University. Open Book Futures aims to initiate a step-change in the ambition, scope and impact of community-led Open Access book publishing.
