• Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI)
  BOAI which arose from a meeting organized by OSI in December 2001.OSI is funding a range of interlocking projects on advocacy and awareness-raising, development of open-access business and economic policy models, the creation of new resources to promote and aggregate open-access publications, and the consolidation of a global movement for open access. In developing and transition countries, open access allows students, scientists, and academics to not only access the material which they need to conduct their research, but also allows them more effectively to contribute their important work to the global research community.
