The CRAFT-OA (Creating a Robust Accessible Federated Technology for Open Access) project aims to consolidate the Diamond OA publishing landscape in close collaboration with the DIAMAS project. CRAFT-OA focuses on improving the technical and organisation infrastructure of Diamond OA through four threads of activities:

1. Provide technical improvements for journal platforms and journal software.
2. Build communities of practice to foster overall infrastructure improvement.
3. Increase visibility, discoverability and recognition for Diamond OA publishing.
4. Integrate Diamond OA publishing with EOSC and other large-scale data aggregators.

CRAFT-OA works to deliver technical and community tools, training events, training materials, information, and services for the Diamond OA institutional publishing environment. It aims to foster communities of practice that can sustain the project improvements over time. 

CRAFT-OA is funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement no. 101094397.
