Platinum Open Access Funding (PLATO)
PLATO was a project undertaken by six Swiss universities and funded by swissuniversities, the umbrella organisation of universities in Switzerland. It began by doing a landscape study of Diamond OA in Switzerland, and also aimed to develop a sustainable funding model for collaborative, community-driven OA publishing in Switzerland. This was done in advance of updates to the revised national open science strategy, and provided useful information about, and networking for, Diamond OA publishers in the region.
