Everyone should be able to read and reuse the results of publicly funded academic research online: this is the ideal pursued by the open access movement. All institutions of higher education in the Netherlands plus the Dutch government are working towards this goal. This site provides the national and international research community with objective information about recent developments that are helping to bring this goal closer in the Netherlands. The information is supplemented by news from abroad that is of interest to the Netherlands. The site also offers practical advice to researchers wishing to publish in open access.
