In this talk, I will present the services, taskforces, and governance of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH). I will focus on the way in which the results of the DIAMAS and CRAFT-OA projects are folded into the EDCH, with special attention to the Diamond OA Standard (DOAS), which sets an aspirational quality standard not only for Diamond OA publishers and services providers but now also for journals, in collaboration with DOAJ.

In addition, I will present the goals and activities of the ALMASI project, which is currently investigating nonprofit OA scholarly publishing in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. The goal of ALMASI is to co-design and implement good practices of service provision, improve the technical and scientific quality of nonprofit OA journals and platforms, and encourage the development of institutional and national policies that can financially support nonprofit OA publishing. This project should be seen in the context of the worldwide effort to align Diamond OA publishing in the Global Diamond Open Access Alliance promoted by UNESCO.
