- New Open Access Platform open-access.net

open-access.net, an online information platform on open access issues is 
going online now. The Universities of Bielefeld, Goettingen, Constance 
and the Freie Universitat Berlin jointly operate the platform and have 
received funding from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche 
Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The platform intends to inform on the 
growing scientific and political significance of open access issues.

Currently, open-access.net is only available in the German language, but 
will soon be translated into English. See http://www.open-access.net/ 
and 
http://openaccess-germany.de/de/austausch/presse/pressemitteilungen/pressemitteilung_start_englisch/ 
for the English Press Release.
