Brussels, 28 September 2011
The Fund for Scientific Research (F.R.S.-FNRS) wishes to contribute to the promotion of the first strategy advocated by the Budapest Initiative on Open Access through the organization of a workshop focusing on the “Green Road” model in the context of Open Access to scientific and scholarly literature.
Although they aim to implement greater accessibility and visibility of research, policy initiatives from stakeholders in scientific research have not achieved maximum efficiency yet.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together actors from universities, research centers and funding agencies to identify pending issues in the management of institutional repositories, both in terms of scientific dissemination and measurable impact on scientific publications and communications.
