Dealing with Funder Mandates: Practical Support for Repository Practitioners – A Workshop

Workshop at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

Workshops and Tutorials

Over the last five years there has been a significant increase in the number of institutional and funder policies mandating open access (OA) to research results; taking advantage of both routes to open access, green and gold OA. This workshop will look at the impact of mandatory open access policies on institutions and their repositories. The presenters will give a brief presentation and case studies on the current status of the institutional and the funders’ policies. The organisers will present a series of questions, which will serve as an exercise. The participants will be divided into groups to discuss these questions and will report back to the group.
