I think there is also a role for individual Universities' research offices to
draw attention to their faculty of requirements imposed by funding agencies.

All,
I sent over 60 messages to MEPs on behalf of the EPT Trustees, on April 9th,
so there may have been other letters written too. If so, this suggests

complied with. Penalties for non-compliance are effectively impossible.
I heard someone at UKCoRR compare the situation to speeding fines
lately. Do these stop people from

How come? Academics have to make their work openly
accessible to make open access work. Waiting for
bureaucrats to act first is just wasting time.
