Hello, I just noticed the European Commission has a consultation running on 'scientific information in the digital age' till 9 September: http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/consultation_en.htm <http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/consultation_en.htm> It concerns access to scientific publications and research data. One of the key discussions is if EU-financed research should be available through open access.
See also the earlier Commission Communication on Scientific information in the digital age: access, dissemination and preservation (2007) - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2007:0056:FIN:EN:PDF This survey should feed in a new Communication on this subject. Seen the discussion about access to scientific publications on the nettime-list, I suppose this can interest several of you. But do not wait too long, it only lasts till 9 September. Best wishes, Hans
