Minister Harris welcomes a landmark development in Open Access research that will benefit researchers, students and citizens
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris has today (Monday, 24 May 2021) welcomed Ireland taking a huge step forward in providing open access to research.
The IReL initiative, funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, has struck transformative agreements with 11 major international academic publishers.
As a result, researchers based at participating member institutions of the IReL Consortium are now able to ensure that the articles they write are made available openly, immediately and at no cost to researchers, learners and citizens nationally and internationally by the publishers involved.
