• swissuniversities has two main opposite tasks:

Strengthen the collaboration and the coordination between universities,

UAS, UTE

Keep the particular features and the complementarity of the universities,

UAS, UTE

• Deal with different (and sometimes diverging) positions of each institution of higher

education

• Find the right balance between the competences and collaboration of the different

bodies (Plenary assembly, Board, Chambers, Delegations, etc.)

Coordination office for scientific information (COSI), 2021ff.:

vision and mission


swissuniversities members can count on COSI to support the development of

coordinated scientific information strategies.

( Analysis, recommendations, guidelines, policies)

COSI will also manage for them a dynamic and sustainable portfolio of shared

services and infrastructures and promote the relationships between the

providers and customers of these services.

( Service management support, distribution, quality control, interoperability)

A national strategy for Open Access

03



Why Open Access?

Two main reasons:

1. Access

2. Market control

Underlying principle: publicly funded research should be as as accessible (obtainable,

affordable) as possible.

Introduction and documents @swissuniversities:

https://www.swissuniversities.ch/fr/themes/politique-des-hautes-ecoles/open-access/

@SNSF:

http://oa100.snf.ch/en/home-en/

https://www.swissuniversities.ch/fr/themes/politique-des-hautes-ecoles/open-access/http://oa100.snf.ch/en/home-en/


• By 2024, all scholarly publication activities in Switzerland should be Open Access,

all scholarly publications funded by public money must be freely accessible on the

internet.

• The Open Access landscape will consist of a mix of OA models (green, gold,

hybrid)

• Strong support of alternative business models for publication

Align with European benchmarks


Swiss national Open Access strategy: the vision


• EU funding: OA mandatory from 2020 (september 2018: ‘Plan S’)

• Austria: OA implementation goal is 2020 (Gold)

• Denmark: OA mandatory in 2022 (Green)

• Netherlands: 60% of publications OA in 2019, 100% Gold in 2024

• Great Britain: Double strategy, Green and/or Gold

• USA: no national strategy, but mandatory funding requirements (e.g. NIH) or White

House regulations (federal funding, e.g. NSF)

Rule of thumb: «As open as possible, as closed as necessary»

(data protection, private partnerships, patents etc.)


An international shift towards Open Access


• A powerful and unified approach

• Support and commitment from research communities

• Achieve cost transparency and cost neutrality

• Ascertain control and diversity of the scientific production process

• Revise the quality assessment system


National Open Access strategy: guiding principles


• December 2015: SERI letter initiating a national OA strategy (goals: promotion of

Open Access, cost transparency, coordination)

• 2016: Elaboration of a strategy, together with the SNSF

• January 2017: swissuniversities adopts the strategy

• 2017: Elaboration of an action plan

• (June 2017: SERI letter asking for an Open Data Stragegy)

• February 2018: swissuniversities adopts the action plan, SHEI approves

Ongoing:

• Implementation of a governance within P-5 (‘Scientific information’)

• 26th October: National Open Access conference (@UniLS)


Milestones


• Adopting and aligning Open Access policies

• Negotiations with publishers

• Coordinating and pooling resources

• Exploring alternative forms of publishing

• Communicating and raising awareness

• Supportive regulatory framework (right for secondary publication, right to mine)

• National monitoring

(Project management by P-5 fully operational from January 2019)
