As a leader in the global movement toward open access to publicly funded research, the University of California is taking a firm stand by deciding not to renew its subscriptions with Elsevier. Despite months of contract negotiations, Elsevier was unwilling to meet UC’s key goal: securing universal open access to UC research while containing the rapidly escalating costs associated with for-profit journals.
Launched as an initiative in 2015 through the MIT-Germany - University of Stuttgart cooperation, the fund provides faculty and research scientists at MIT and the University of Stuttgart the opportunity to jointly apply for seed grants. The maximum award is $25,000.
