 Dear SURFshare contacts,

****

*“Open access to research is a must for the competitiveness of Europe”*

* *

*EU Commissioner Kroes strongly supports Dutch Open 2011. *

* *

*Utrecht, The Netherlands, 24 October 2011 *– The EU Commissioner for
Europe’s Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, this morning gave the starting
signal for the Dutch contribution to the annual international Open Access
week. In a video message on the www.surf.nl/open2011 website, Ms Kroes
says that open access to research results – both publications and research
data – is not just a luxury. She sees Open Access as a must for the
Netherlands and Europe if they are to be able to compete internationally.
****

** **

Each year sees Open Access coming more into the spotlight. In the
Netherlands, this happens at many higher education institutions in the
form of the “Open 2011” event, which runs from 24 October to 4 November.
“I’m very proud”, says Ms Kroes, “of the many activities that are taking
place in the Netherlands to deliver Open Access.” The national programme
for Open 2011 is being coordinated by SURF, the Dutch collaborative ICT
organisation for higher education and research.****

*Research and education*

This year’s Open 2011 in the Netherlands focuses not only on Open Access
to research but also to education. Access to knowledge, information, and
data is essential in higher education and research, and using it provides
the basis for knowledge transfer and knowledge generation. Research and
education that is paid for with the taxpayer’s money should be accessible
and should be used efficiently. Where possible, it should be able to be
reused. This philosophy is endorsed by organisations including the
country’s principal science funding body NWO, the Royal Netherlands
Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and all the Dutch higher education
institutions. Making educational resources openly available enables higher
education institutions to show the rest of the world what they have to
offer, and thus to attract talented students and researchers. Open access
also contributes to the improvement of the quality of learning materials.

*Activities*

After the starting signal by EU Commissioner Kroes, there will be daily
videos on www.surf.nl/open2011 for the next two weeks in which a speaker
from the higher education sector will emphasise the importance of “open”
for higher education and research.  ****

** **

Institutions for higher education and research are organising lectures,
seminars, and other activities for researchers, instructors, students
and/or the staff of libraries and media centres. Higher education
institutions worldwide are organising activities to raise knowledge and
awareness of Open Access to research data. Last year, more than 900
institutions in 94 countries were involved.****
