[from our news: https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/paywallmovie/index.html] ***SAVE THE DATE: Dec 14, 14:30 - 16:30.*** We are happy to announce that a collaboration of ZPID, LMU OSC, and LMU University Library will present the movie "Paywall - The Business of Scholarship" in Munich. The movie is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science. It questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publishers, and looks at the factors impeding global academic innovation. ![](cid:999CE2E6-50C7-4D48-9AAB-F9D41091CE0D@psy.lmu.de "paywallmovie.png") We will live-screen the movie, and have a **subsequent panel discussion**, featuring the director of the film, Jason Schmitt, and other panelists. See the **trailer** here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaHlcwyn2Jk&feature=youtu.be The event will take place on **Friday, Dec 14, 2018 from 14:30 to 16:30 at LMU Munich**.
