Comments.
- This is very good news for those of us hoping that the ERC will mandate OA for ERC-funded research. (The ERC will fund €1 billion worth of research every year.) It's good news because under Winnacker's leadership, the DFG adopted a strong OA policy for DFG-funded research.
- Another ground for hope: one member of the ERC's Scientific Council is Wendy Hall, a professor at the University of Southampton Department of Electronics and Computer Science, which mandates OA to the research output of the department.
- The ERC has no web site yet. But I'll blog the URL as soon as I learn it.
