EUI endorsement of the 20th anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative - BOAI20

"The Dean of Research, Prof. Calzolari, and the Library Director, Mr. Torn reconfirm that the European University Institute (EUI) is at the forefront of the Open Access movement by signing and endorsing the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI20) on its 20th anniversary. On its 20th anniversary, the BOAI issued a new and updated statement —BOAI20— confirming that the initiative remains committed to the principles articulated in the original BOAI statement from 2002 and the 10-year anniversary statement from 2012, and that it today goes further in ambition, especially when it comes to the four high level recommendations: 1. Open infrastructure, 2. Research assessment practices, 3. Article processing charges, and 4. Read-and-publish agreements. Under each area, this document a) briefly lists and describes how the EUI currently addresses the area through established practices and then b) indicates possible future actions to undertake. The EUI first signed the BOAI statement on its 10th anniversary in 2012. After this new endorsement, a revision and adaptation of the EUI Open Access policy from 2017 might be considered."
