Dear colleagues,

In October 2015, the open access infrastructure project INTACT has
started its work. Today, the project website was launched.

Funded by German Research Foundation, INTACT brings together three
already existing initiatives which will now collaborate under one
roof: The Open APC platform, the ESAC initiative and Open Analytics.
INTACT aims at an improvement of infrastructure which is needed to
ensure a transparent and efficient APC market.

The next steps of INTACT will be an international expert workshop on
open access offsetting agreements to be held in March at the MPDL
(http://esac-initiative.org/activities/offsetting-workshop-2016/) and
a Bielefeld workshop for Open APC data suppliers in April.

Best regards,

Dirk Pieper
