Launch of ENCES for OA-friendly copyright laws in Europe

A group of OA-supporting researchers from 12 countries launched ENCES (European Network for Copyright in support of Education and Science) at the recent conference, Copyright Regulation in Europe – An Enabling or Disabling Factor for Science Communication (Berlin, November 13-15, 2008).  (Thanks to the Informationsplattform Open Access.)

Read the founders' press release in German or Google's English.  Also see Stefan Krempl's article in yesterday's Heise online, in German or Google's English.

ENCES will be an EU-wide counterpart to Germany's Aktionsbündnis ,,Urheberrecht für Bildung und Wissenschaft" (Coalition for Action "Copyright for Education and Research"), founded by Rainer Kuhlen in 2004.  For background, see our past posts on Kuhlen and the coalition.

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.
