[Google Translate] Gallo: open access to research and educational formats in RAI to transmit scientific culture to everyone.

Imagine a society in which scientists can directly share their information and citizens can openly access scientific literature.

Italy must align itself with the objectives of the Horizon 2020 programme, which binds the publication in Open Access of all the research produced in Europe with its own funds. It is also necessary for our country to adopt the German model, where Open Access to Research already exists: in Germany, the author of a publication on a publicly funded research activity can make his scientific contribution publicly available online, twelve months after the first publication. By reducing the high cost of publishing and purchasing scientific journals, we will enable all citizens to reach the sources of knowledge directly and free of charge. This is the starting point of a law on Open Access to Scientific Research that I first signed in parliament.
