The Directorate-General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission (EC) has published the results of the 2010/11 questionnaire on open access and preservation policies in Europe. The report gives an overview of how policies and strategies on open access and preservation have been developing in the European Research Area (ERA).
Most importantly, it shows that open access is backed by a growing number of universities, research centres and funding agencies across Europe. National initiatives like in the United Kingdom will also further support open access.
