2. New Open Access Platform open-access.net

open-access.net, an online information platform on open access issues is going online now. The Universities of Bielefeld, Goettingen, Constance and the Freie Universitat Berlin jointly operate the platform and have received funding from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The platform intends to inform on the growing scientific and political significance of open access issues.

Currently, open-access.net is only available in the German language, but will soon be translated into English. See http://www.open-access.net/ and http://openaccess-germany.de/de/austausch/presse/pressemitteilungen/pressemitteilung_start_englisch/ for the English Press Release.
