Four Swiss research organizations --the Rectors' Conference of the Swiss Universities (CRUS), Council of the Swiss Scientific Academies (CASS), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), and Swiss Conference of Schools for Teacher Education (SCTE)-- have signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Acces to Knowledge.
Update (1/30/06). Make that five: The Conference of the Universities of Applied Sciences (CUAS) just signed.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
