Champions from European academic institutions (in alphabetical order)

Europe’s Open Access Champions contains the stories/accounts and views of Open Access leaders from nine countries with scholars from a range of disciplines and at various stages of their careers. They are dedicating their time to opening access to scholarly research output to differing extents, be this personally, in their institutions, within their communities, countries or Europe. Their stories show similar strong motivations as well as more distinct convictions that result in inspiring reading.

We would like to thank the university presidents, managers, administrators and scholars who spent their time sharing their views, visions and ideas on how to bring more Open Access to Europe’s research with the international Open Access community via this project.
