The way that research is communicated is changing rapidly, opening greater access for more people to more research. The CRC at the University of Nottingham works nationally and globally with researchers, funders, institutions and publishers, on challenges and exciting opportunities in opening access to research.

The CRC houses a portfolio of open access projects, services and initiatives. These include the SHERPA Services for Open Access - RoMEO, JULIET, FACT and OpenDOAR and the University contribution to the European and international projects MedOANet, OpenAIRE and Dart-Europe. Project and service funders include Jisc, RCUK, the European Commission, RLUK and the Wellcome Trust.

We host visiting scholars and post-graduate students working in open access and act as an information exchange within the community.
