cOAlition S

Can you imagine how much more science could advance and tackle society’s needs if only academic and scientific research were open and readily available to all? 

Plan S is an initiative for Open Access publishing supported by cOAlition S, an international consortium of research funding and performing organisations. It requires that “with effect from 2021, all scholarly publications on the results from research funded by public or private grants provided by national, regional and international research councils and funding bodies, must be published in Open Access Journals, on Open Access Platforms, or made immediately available through Open Access Repositories without embargo”.

This is the official YouTube channel of the cOAlition S. Within our growing library you will find curated presentations, speeches, interviews, and explanatory videos, aiming to shed light on the necessity and implementation of Plan S.
