What this Panel Is About

Without open infrastructures that enable the sharing of research information (academic data) — including key outputs such as publications — Open Access and Open Science risk becoming mere compliance exercises. Only open systems can ensure true accessibility, transparency, traceability, and reusability  — key also for rights retention strategies or a national secondary publication right.

In this panel, experts and participants discuss national strategies for Open Access and Open Science in light of Switzerland’s revised Open Access strategy. Speakers from the Netherlands, Finland, and Denmark will share experiences with secondary publication rights and Open Science portals, addressing benefits for institutions, funders, and researchers, as well as challenges of coordination, standards, and sustainable funding.

While institutional repositories are well established, stronger coordination and common standards are needed to boost national visibility of Switzerland’s research output (including data) and prepare for potential legislation.
