From: Dirk Pieper <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 20:31:03 +0100 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.
