Global Research Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Global Research Council is a virtual organization through which the heads of national science funding agencies from several countries meet to discuss cooperation, review practices, and promote research on, and directions for, scientific funding worldwide.[1]

During its Second Annual Global Meeting in May 2013, the council endorsed an Action Plan towards Open Access to Publications[permanent dead link] based on the principles of public results for public spending, researcher awareness and education, and support through a policy of open access publishing.[2]
