Un saludo, Mercé Millet ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <rtd-scientific-publicat...@ec.europa.eu> Date: 2010/7/20 Subject: Publication of Science and Society Work Programme 2011: new topics related to open access To: rtd-scientific-publicat...@ec.europa.eu Cc: rtd-scientific-publicat...@ec.europa.eu Dear list members, This message is to inform you that the 2011 Science in Society Work Programme was published today: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.CapacitiesDetailsCallPage&call_id=360. It contains two topics relating to open access / access to scientific information (see pages 15-17): * SiS.2011.1.3.1-1 Reinforcing European strategies on access, dissemination and preservation of scientific information in the digital age * SiS.2011.1.3.1-2 Study to develop a set of indicators to measure open access The texts of these topics are reproduced below. Please note that the specifications for the "Study to develop a set of indicators to measure open access" will be published in 2010. Kind regards, RTD SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS European Commission, Research Directorate-General --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SiS.2011.1.3.1-1 Reinforcing European strategies on access, dissemination and preservation of scientific information in the digital age Description of topic: Prompted by the Commission Communication on scientific information in the digital age: access, dissemination and preservation16, Member States made a strong commitment to take concrete steps towards improving access to and dissemination of scientific information. The Council invited in particular Member States to "reinforce national strategies and structures for access to and preservation and dissemination of scientific information, tackling organisational, legal, technical and financial issues [and] enhance the co-ordination between Member States, large research institutions and funding bodies on access, preservation and dissemination policies and practices"17. A Digital Agenda for Europe18, the strategy for a flourishing digital economy by 2020, also addresses the issue of dissemination of publicly funded research through Open Access publication of scientific data and papers. In 2009, the European Commission noted that many valuable activities to promote "Open Access" were underway in the Member States, but that there was a “need to capitalise on these existing activities in order to move towards convincing and robust national and European strategies on access, dissemination and preservation in the digital age”19. This topic supports actions aimed at co-ordinating research activities and policies to reinforce the existing national strategies and structures, and contribute to the development of new ones. New initiatives can be built on a thematic and/or geographical basis. Actions may include the organisation of events, exchange and dissemination of good practices, or the definition, organisation and management of joint or common initiatives and/or policy activities (without funding research as such). Target groups are the full range of institutions and organisations in EU Member States and Associated Countries that address and/or co-ordinate policies and activities relating to access to scientific information, e.g. ministries, funding bodies, universities, libraries, associations, CSOs etc. Note: Limits on the EU financial contribution apply. These are implemented strictly as formal eligibility criteria. Please also refer to the call fiche for details of these limits. Funding scheme: Coordination and Support Actions (supporting action). It is envisaged that two proposals will be financed Additional eligibility criterion: Maximum requested EU contribution: EUR 750 000 Expected impact: to sustain/improve the co-ordination of existing Member State and Associated Country initiatives on access to and dissemination of scientific information; to extend current activities to other countries (both EU/Associated Countries and internationally) and/or thematic areas; to put in place new/innovative co-ordination initiatives; to create new initiatives (e.g. regional, linguistic or thematic) improving the co-ordination of existing strategies on digital repositories. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SiS.2011.1.3.1-2 Study to develop a set of indicators to measure open access With the approval of the ERA Vision 2020 in late 2008, the Council of Ministers has set a framework with long-term objectives for the realisation of the European Research Area (ERA). Progress towards these objectives will be monitored through regular and evidence-based monitoring via indicators. Within the broader objective of improved knowledge circulation and in the context of recent Commission initiatives on access to scientific information20, one of the indicators will measure open access (free of charge online availability of research outputs). A study will be launched to define a set of indicators and a methodology to measure and analyse the development of open access, for example in terms of the proportion of research literature available in open access form. This set of indicators will provide data for the ERA and individual ERA countries, and may also reach beyond. Funding scheme: Coordination and Support Actions (supporting action) – public procurement21 (Open procedure, 1st semester 2011) Indicative budget for EU contribution: up to EUR 300 000 Expected impact: The study will define indicators and a methodology ensuring a yearly and sustainable monitoring of open access practices from 2000 onwards. Moreover, it will collect and analyse data that can trace the dynamics of open access in the ERA. -------- 16 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee of 14 February 2007, COM(56)2007 17 Council Conclusions, 2832nd Competitiveness, November 2007 18 A digital Agenda for Europe, Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, 19 May 2010 COM (2010)245 final. http://eurlex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0245:EN:NOT http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/index_en.htm < http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/digital-agenda/index_en.htm> 19 Questionnaire to CREST – Summary of responses, 9 June 2009 20 See http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/find-doc_en.html, http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/open_access, http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/scientific_information. 21 In accordance with Art 14(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007-2013). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You have received this message because you are on the Research Directorate-General's mailing list for issues pertaining to access to scientific information.
