EIFL calls for the introduction of a mandatory research exception and an EU-level SPR to support researchers and boost open science. Repository Managers from Latvia, Armenia, Serbia and Moldova share their experiences obtaining and depositing published research, and EIFLs model SPR provision is designed to meet the five policy options in the Commission study, Improving Access to and Reuse of Research Results.
