Open Access Mission Statement

The mission statement of the Berlin 11 conference is available online now:

“During the Berlin 11 Open Access Conference, the Max Planck Society presented a draft mission statement and asked the participants for their comments. The mission statement will be used as a guideline for future activities of the Max Planck Society towards the goals mentioned in the Berlin Declaration a decade ago.”

Everyone is a scientist

Jack Andraka is a 16-year-old inventor and Open Access advocate. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Berlin Declaration he talked about his early detection test for pancreatic cancer at the Max Planck Science Gallery. Together with Nick Shockey, Right to Research Coalition, and Daniel Kolarich, group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces they spoke about the necessity of Open Access.
