- CRUI, the Conference of the Rectors of Italian Universities, on November 4th 2004, in Messina agreed to the “Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities”. By means of the Messina Declaration, published in that day, CRUI activated the Open Access movement in the Italian Academic world. Since then 75 among the 77 Italian Universities formally approved the Messina Declaration and signed the Berlin declaration. In spring 2006 CRUI established a Group Working on Open Access, composed by University professors, librarians and IT experts, with the aim of making “Open Access” happen, sharing the policies and the tools developed for Open Access in the context of the international scientific community. Following the commitment taken on November 2004 in Messina, and renewed in March 2006 in Potsdam at the IV Berlin Declaration Conference, in agreement with the President of the Max Planck Society, Prof. Peter Gruss, CRUI announces that the “Fifth Conference on the implementation of the recommendations in the Berlin Declaration on Open Access” will be organized in September 2007 in Padova. The aim of the conference will be to bring together the various initiatives and key players within the Open Access movement in order to: - maintain the enthusiasm of all people involved in the Open Access field; - have an overview of the developing tools that sustain Open Access in scientific data and cultural heritage dissemination; - develop the effective strategies that can contribute to the construction and implementation of this new paradigm of the scholarly communication world. The general subjects of the conference will focus on: a) state of the art of the sharing of the Berlin Declaration vision: survey on the impact of the new paradigm in the institutions that signed the declaration; supporting bodies policies and activities in favour of innovative scholarly communication processes; b) the Open Access scene in the developing countries and emerging economies: strategies, achievements, impact; c) Open Access and the e-science: how to support the free circulation of scientific raw data to facilitate cooperation and effective reuse; d) e-publishing: the emerging of new strategies in scientific data dissemination/communication: estimate of the impact in Open Access journals, new tools for scholarly evaluation in the growing layer of Open Access publications, the perspective of a changing landscape in the scientific journals policy; e) local/national IT developments that support e-publishing and Open Access, national and international consortia.
