Why Europe Needs a Digital Knowledge Act
- jruohonen 3y agoSome good points, I think: "University researchers lack access to essential data, impeding their ability to conduct the same state-of-the-art research done in other parts of the world." "On top of that, a big chunk of published research funded with public money through Horizon Europe or other public sources ends up locked behind paywalls, putting a huge financial burden on research institutions that need to access it." But this one is a little more debatable vis-a-vis the declining PISA results throughout most of Europe: "Educational establishments and libraries are also facing significant barriers when trying to provide learning materials in digital form. Although more and more learning takes place online, knowledge institutions do not get to buy ebooks under the same conditions as physical books."
