The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid adopted an OA policy on February 25, 2009. The policy applies to requests for funding to create or improve Web sites for the university's institutes and research groups. Applications for such funding from the must indicate whether the group will commit to self-archive its research results in the UC3M IR; commitment will figure in the evaluation of applications.

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.
