Sharing knowledge: Open Access for all is the goal

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is strongly committed to Open Access and follows a progressive Open Access policy following the pioneering role of the Netherlands, with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) becoming the first funding agency in the world to demand that the results of the research projects it funds be made available immediately and without restriction. The SNSF will continue to follow and play an active role in international developments. It supports the Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science 2016, which aims to achieve full open access for all publicly funded scientific publications by 2020.
