The conference presented the results of the OpenAIRE project which supports the European Commission’s FP7 Open Access Pilot.  It featured a picture of the open access & supporting infrastructure landscape in Europe and offered views ranging from researcher’s views on scientific information, to the role of data infrastructures, research institutions and funders.

 

The two-day programme, and the venue, Pauliner Kirche, Göttingen State Library, also allowed a fitting context to Horizon 2020, where open access will be a general principle for all European research programmes.

150 international delegates attended the conference.
