Forwarded -- but be forewarned: This questionnaire is not only or
even mainly about Open Access. Those not interested in or informed
about details of European research policy may not wish to take the
time to fill out this rather lengthy euro-questionnaire. -- SH

Subject: Access to knowledge: Invitation to contribute to the public
consultation on the Green Paper on the European Research Area
Access to knowledge: Invitation to contribute to the public consultation
on the Green Paper on the European Research Area
-- On-line questionnaire open until 31 August 2007 --
Last April, the European Commission adopted a Green
Paper on "The European Research Area: New Perspectives"
(
http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/consultation-era_en.html#greenpaper).
The Green Paper identifies "effective knowledge-sharing" as a key area
for the ERA and asks whether there is a need for EU-level policies and
practices to improve and ensure open access to and dissemination of
raw data and peer-reviewed publications from publicly funded research
results".
The European Commission has published an online questionnaire
addressing in more detail the questions raised in the Green Paper
(
http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/questionnaire_en.html). It contains
a section on knowledge-sharing, including a specific question on access
to scientific information (KSH2).
The Scientific publications team invites you to participate in the
debate by filling in the questionnaire. The two first sections
of the questionnaire are compulsory, whereas other sections are
voluntary. Knowledge-sharing is addressed in part four.
Word or PDF versions of the consultation can be downloaded
prior to completing the online version. Additional comments
can be sent to rtd-era_at_ec.europa.eu (please send a copy to
rtd-scientific-publication_at_ec.europa.eu).
Kind regards,
Research Directorate-General, Scientific publications team
