Hi all,

 

Timothy Vollmer from CC HQ has written about the bipartisan introduction of FASTR legislation to the US Congress, mandating Open Access to publicly funded research. This being the US, this amounts to $60 billion of funding for basic and applied research.

And more information here: http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/news/FASTR_calltoaction.shtml

 

I’d be interested if anyone has any insights into the likelihood of this getting through.

 

Cheers,
Matt
