  3. Conclusions of the 2832nd EU Competitiveness Council "[The EU Council] recognizes the strategic importance for Europe’s scientific development of current initiatives to develop sustainable models for open access [...]" and "underlines the importance of effective collaboration between different actors, including funding agencies, researchers, research institutions and scientific publishers, in relation to access [... to], scientific publications [...]". It "invites Member States to enhance the co-ordination between Member States, large research institutions and funding bodies on access [...] policies and practices" These principles are precisely the pillars of the SCOAP3 model http://www.consilium.europa.eu/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressData/en/intm/97236.pdf

  5. SCOAP3 in the US (target: 2.7M€) From a SCOAP3 presentation at DoE/HEPAP on 29-30/11. Conclusion letter available in two weeks. A three-pronged approach • DoE laboratories. Re-direction of money used for journals subscription today. Effort led by Fermilab and SLAC, LANL just joined. Being discussed with others • Re-direction of money used for journals collective subscription by large library consortia. California Digital Library (CDL), representing all Universities of California, very positive: "We find the model both intriguing and innovative and are impressed with the level of support that SCOAP3 has been able to garner in Europe to date. Any proposal that holds out promise for placing scholarly publication on a more sustainable and open footing is very welcome. We plan to study this initiative more closely in order to explore the feasibility of CDL becoming a SCOAP3 funding partner on behalf of the University of California Libraries.” • Re-direction of subscriptions of individual university libraries which are not organised in consortia http://scoap3.org/scoap3us.html
