The document summarizes Carl-Christian Buhr's presentation on making EU open access policies work. It discusses the goals of the EU Commission to have open access policies in all member states by 2014 and 60% open access in Europe by 2016. For Horizon 2020, the EU research program with €77 billion in funding, there will be a open access mandate for publications and an open access to data pilot. The presentation provides details on the open access policies and goals for Horizon 2020, and pointers to additional resources on open access from the EU Commission.

in Europe
On the Road
to 2020

10. Why Open Access?
Optimize impact of publicly-funded research
Faster growth: Better exploitation of
research results for and by innovative
industry in the ERA – products come
faster to the market;
Greater efficiency: foster collaboration
and avoid duplication of effort;
More transparency: Involve citizens and
society in the scientific process

11. Strong political support
“Access to scientific results for
free, for all, for ever is a
compelling vision indeed.”
“The question is no longer ‘if’
we should have open access. The
question is about ‘how’ we
should develop it further and
promote it.”
“Scientific information has the
power to transform our lives
for the better – it is too
valuable to be locked away.”
