BACKGROUND

The PASTEUR4OA (Open Access Policy Alignment Strategies for European Union Research) project addresses policymakers and encourages policy alignment across Europe to ensure that all publicly-funded research is open access.

The project develops and/or reinforces open access strategies and policies at the national level and facilitates their coordination in Europe. It also builds a network of centres of expertise in Europe that develops a coordinated and collaborative programme of activities in support of policymaking at the national level under the direction of project partners.

EIFL and LMT are PASTEUR4OA project partners. Read more about EIFL's involvement in the project here.
