 So, the main challenges that we have to face are basically very much in line with what other European countries do have to encounter, basically being able to implement and instigate a culture change within our academic community. Also, to persuade policymakers that open science has to be a top item on our agenda. Also, one of the main challenges that we do have as a small island is basically that we do not have local peers, so basically you have to tap on our international peers. When it comes to opener, our main responsibility is basically to liaise with academics and researchers and support our academics and researchers with all issues pertaining to open science, to liaise with the various policymakers, as well as to ensure that we come up with the main infrastructure which support open science. Recently, we have implemented the first institute repository on the Maldives Islands. Basically, this has been extended and we are also accepting research articles from researchers, academics who are not part of our affiliated with our university, so as to speak the repository service as a national repository. We have also recently implemented an open access policy, an institutional open access policy for our university.
