DEFF has been closely monitoring the development of Open Access from its birth and is active in advocating for Open Access solutions and doing pilot projects. The invitation to join SCOAP3 to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation was discussed by the ministries in DEFF’s Coordination Committee and on Tuesday 18 December they approved the signing of the Expression of interest.
DEFF considers a more widely access to scientific information as an important pillar for the Danish Government’s strategy ‘Denmark in the Global Economy’.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
