Berlin 6 Open Access Conference: Changing Scholarly Communication in the Knowledge Society

Open access to scientific knowledge
Free access to research results on the Internet (Open Access) and the related opportunities and challenges are the main issues at the international Berlin 6 Open Access Conference. Whose property is a scientific article? Does it belong to the author or the institution that funded the research? Are authors supposed to transfer their copyright to a publisher, or should they be asked to present their articles on publicly accessible document servers? And how has the world of science changed through the increasing digitalization and networking enabled by Open Access?

Five years after the statement of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003) was formulated, it is time for an assessment of the situation. What has been achieved? What are the future challenges?

Presentations will be held by representatives of renowned organizations such as the European Science Foundation, the European Commission, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the German Research Foundation, the Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association, the Fraunhofer Society, the Leibniz Society, and Microsoft Research.

Approximately 250 participants are expected to attend, among them researchers, science communication experts, representatives of funding agencies, institutions, foundations, libraries and software companies. The conference is jointly organized by the Max Planck Society, represented by the Max Planck Digital Library, and the Heinrich-Heine University of Düsseldorf.

The Berlin Declaration to Open Access (2003)
The Open Access movement emerged in the early 1990s as a reaction to the increasing costs of scientific publications in conjunction with libraries' shrinking budgets. The movement's objective is to provide the public with results of publicly funded research for free, rather than buying them back from the publishers.

The Berlin declaration was signed by leading German and international scientific organizations in fall 2003, explicitly demanding free access to research articles and results on the Internet. In the meantime, the initiative has been joined by more than 250 organizations worldwide, all of which exchange information about current developments at annual conferences, such as this one in Düsseldorf.
