Thank you, bernard, for such a good, strong, response. May I suggest you convene some top administrators of important emergent countries administrators, e.e. Sao Pauo and UNAM in Mexico. Chile and Argentina might well be two other interesting targets. People from Clacso, SciELO and RedALyC might also be good targets.
Similar people from Africa and Asia would also be very useful. Eve Gray coul help for South Africa, and Leslie Chan, through Bioline, for Africa. Etc, etc. Besr, jc Le vendredi 13 juillet 2012 à 23:23 +0200, brent...@ulg.ac.be a écrit : > Dear all, > > > It is amazing nowadays how, if you don't manage to have sufficient > time to,respond within an hour, you are considered not on board !! > ;-) > > > Yes, we are on board and EOS is. > For those who do not know us yet, here is the address: > http://www.openscholarship.org/ > > > Joining is easy. > > > EOS was created precisely to generate awareness concerning OA and > particularly Green OA with university leaders, those who have the > decision power.
