Access to scientific information in the digital age - FP7 Open Access Pilot Project

Author(s)

Francesco Fusaro, European Commission, DG Research

Abstract:

In order to become an increasingly competitive knowledge-based economy, Europe must not only improve the production of knowledge but also its dissemination and application. For this reason the European Commission has been analysing over the past years the new opportunities for the dissemination of research results offered in the digital age. After extensive consultations with the numerous stakeholders, the European Commission launched in August 2008 an open access pilot project for its research funding programme to experiment with open access as a means to enhance the dissemination of research findings and maximise the returns on investment in R&D.
