Better Together: how Funding and Quality Certification Empower Public Infrastructures for Diamond Open Access | Septentrio Conference Series The transformation of research communication and access systems toward open, equitable, and sustainable models requires robust public policies based on a fine-grained articulation of public resources to strength digital infrastructures. Political support, funding streams, legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, infrastructures, human resources, time, consensus, and organizational capacity are the key instruments for effective grass routed open science policies. This proposal examines the role of National public policies in advancing Diamond OA, focusing on two main policy instruments: dedicated public funding streams and public based quality certification services for journals, Diamond institutional publishers and publishing platforms, and OA repositories. The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, issues these services since 2020 and 2007 respectively. https://doi.org/10.7557/5.8171
