Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of Argentina is carrying out through the National Digital Repositories System (SNRD from its Spanish name “Sistema Nacional de Repositorios Digitales”) an open access initiative to national scientific and technological production. The SNRD aims to form a network of interoperable digital repositories in science and technology by establishing policies, standards and protocols to all members of the scientific system.

The Ministry is also the enforcement authority of Law No. 26,899 "Open Access Digital Institutional Repositories". This law demands that the scientific and technological production (including primary research data) that results from work, training and/or projects that have been funded in whole or in part with public funds and that have been published, accepted for publication and/or passed through a competent authority approval or subject-matter jurisdiction, must be available through own or shared open access digital institutional repositories.

It was created to encourage, promote and coordinate advanced network projects and information technology development. These telecommunications and computer networks are focused on innovative and educational development in science and technology in the country.
We have had our teachers and researchers to get involved in projects with both national and international teams by using a special high-speed network which interconnects 1Gbps of capacity. Thus, we have facilitated the integration of research networks as well as the development of e-science projects in different fields of knowledge
Both CEDIA national infrastructure and that of its international peers are of top-notch technology; it provides our members high-speed transfer of large volumes of data from and to several academic research centers worldwide.
All our members are part of a synergy which promotes interconnectivity and interoperability to develop projects supported by the European Union. These projects are aimed at different areas like e-science, technology, health, and telecommunications, among others.
It is important to point out that CEDIA is part of the RedCLARA Network (Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks).
CEDIA is currently involved in the “La Referencia” project; this is how the initiative to create open access repositories is being supported. This means free visibility of scientific research in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Currently, 90% of our members use digital repositories provided by CEDIA. We are working to motivate and train the missing percentage of members to integrate these digital repositories. The aim is to increase the visibility of national and regional knowledge production to enhance the development of higher education and research.

euroCRIS is a not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to the development of quality CRISs (Current Research Information Systems) enabling a wide-scale interoperability. In particular euroCRIS is mandated by the EC to support, develop and promote CERIF (Common Research Information Format) which is an EU recommendation to the Member States.

A CRIS builds on a data model and a corresponding set of services for a research performing or research funding institution. Interoperation of multiple CRISs provides added value for the CRIS community. Towards research institutions’ capability for interoperation, euroCRIS is dedicated to the development of a high-quality and scalable architecture to facilitate this.
The CERIF data model and services will be distributed and developed further for homogeneous access over heterogeneous information sources, with the ultimate goal of Open Access to all European Research Information for research managers, evaluators, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, media and citizens.

euroCRIS and the Open Access community firmly agree on the need to coordinate the developments in CRIS and OAR for the wider research community. This agreement was laid down in the joint Rome Declaration in May 2011. Both communities are committed to develop, support and promote an architecture (including data model and services) suitable to pursue these principles, jointly to adopt, develop and promote applicable open standards, and to advocate these principles among all stakeholders.

To this end SPARC Europe works to influence policy, encourage innovative developments, help build and sustain networks of like-minded organisations and support libraries in their efforts to change the system for the better.

Our work is focused on achieving Open Access. We believe we can do this best by means of:

Advocacy and education: we participate in workshops, conferences and advisory bodies, make presentations, and provide advocacy material on Open Access
Working with policy makers: we work to influence Open Access policy development at national and European level
Networking: we work with other organisations to build effective networks of strong voices that can make change happen.
