To this end, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has issued provisions on Open access to scientific publications of projects sponsored by the SNSF. The provisions leave researchers the freedom to choose how to implement them."

"Science Commons has three interlocking initiatives designed to accelerate the research cycle - the continuous production and reuse of knowledge that is at the heart of the scientific method. Together, they form the building blocks of a new collaborative infrastructure to make scientific discovery easier by design. Making scientific research "re-useful" - We help people and organizations open and mark their research and data for reuse. We are also exploring new models for licensing patents and know how. Learn more. Enabling "one-click" access to research materials - We help streamline the materials-transfer process so researchers can easily replicate, verify and extend research. Learn more. Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language. Learn more."

"Science Commons designs strategies and tools for faster, more efficient Web-enabled scientific research - Primary Focus: o Making scientific research "re-useful" - We develop and promote policy and tools to help people and organizations open and mark their research and data sets for reuse. As part of this work, we released an "open data" protocol to enable the global scientific community to pool and use data created under different legal regimes. o Enabling "one-click" access to research tools - We offer a suite of standardized contracts to bring the efficiencies and economies of scale from e-commerce to the world of scientific tools, so researchers can easily replicate, verify, and extend research. o Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze, and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language."

"STELLA is an interactive and multilingual web portal for all people involved in science education who want to communicate experiences, cooperate, exchange ideas and thoughts on teaching methods and approaches."

"At a time when we have the technologies to enable global access to and distributed processing of scientific research and data, legal and technical restrictions are making it difficult to connect the dots. Even when research and data is made public, it's often locked up by regimes or contracts that prohibit changing file formats or languages, integrating data, semantic enrichment, text mining and more. These restrictions sharply limit the impact of published research, and prevent us from exploiting the potential of the Web for accelerating scientific discovery. In the Scholar's Copyright Project, Science Commons develops tools and resources for expanding and enhancing open access (OA) to published research and data. We believe that knowledge-sharing systems and formats based on the paper metaphor block innovation, and that open access is prerequisite for finding new ways to reap the value of the vast amounts of public research now being produced. For details on the resources we offer, continue reading below."

"The SNSF already jointly signed the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" with other scientific organisations in Switzerland in 2006. In doing so, it underlined its intention to support the efforts towards establishing Open Access - i.e. free access to scientific publications - in Switzerland."

Software Foundation (FSF) announced the winners of the annual free software awards during the GNU/Linux conference LibrePlanet, held on March 21-22 at Harvard Science Center in Cambridge, MA. Creative Commons was honored with the Award for Projects of Social Benefit, and Wietse Venema was honored with the Award for the Advancement of Free Software. Presenting the awards was FSF founder and president Richard Stallman.

"Kaitlin Thaney, April 2nd, 2010 Thinh Nguyen writes over at the Science Commons blog … "We're happy to announce that we're launching the public comment and discussion period for our new patent tools: the Research Non-Assertion Pledge and the Public Patent License. We invite you to join the discussion at our public wiki. There you can read about these tools, catch up on hot topics of interest to the community, or join our public discussion list to contribute your thoughts and suggestions."

"So, let me make one final plea, to bring you into this battle. You all know, we are in the middle of a war. I don't mean - actually, we are in the middle of many wars - I mean actually one war here, the copyright war. War that the late Jack Valenti, my friend - extraodinary man - used to refer to as his own "terrorist war"? - where apparently , the terrorists in this war are our children. (audience laughs). So we organize and wage war against these terrorists. We talk about this as a war that needs to be waged against these pirates. And the thing that we need to recognize as educators, as scientists, as parents, as people who understand the potential and uses of this technology, is: we can't kill this technology, we can only criminalize it. We're not going to stop our kids from creating the way they create, ways that we couldn't even begin to imagine creating, at least when I was growing up. We can only drive that creativity underground. We can't make our kids passive, the way that, again, I was passive growing up, the way Souza feared. We can only make them "pirates". And the question we, as a culture, need to ask is: Is that any good? Our kids live in this age of prohibitions, in all sorts of contexts of their life. They live life against the law. We tell them they live life against the law and they recognize their behavior is against the law. That recognition is extraordinarily corrosive, extraordinarily corruptive of the rule of law in a democracy. 3571.076838 3590.998233 You, each of you, all of us, have let this insanity happen. You, each of you, all of us, could, if we actually stood up and did something about it, make it stop. Thank you very much."
