We would like to share with the Open Access community the latest advances
in the promotion and implementation of OA policies in Italy, e.g.:****
- the Conference of the Rectors of Italian Universities (CRUI) approved the
Guidelines for Open Access and Open Data policies (27 June 2013) (the link
will soon available)****
- the University of Trieste had already approved its institutional policy
on Open Access to research outputs (enacted 7 June 2013), based on the
Liège ID/OA modelhttp://hdl.handle.net/10077/8791****
- the University of Turin had already approved its institutional policy on
Open Access to research outputs, deeply connecting research evaluation and
the deposit into the institutional repository (17 June 2013)
http://www.unito.it/unitoWAR/ShowBinary/FSRepo/Area_Portale_Pubblico/Documenti/R/regolamento_accesso_aperto.pdf
 (effective as of 1. November 2013).****
Both Universities had included a clause in support of OA in their newly
approved Statutes.****

These endorsements follow upon the Position Statement on Open Access, which
is being signed by an increasing number of Research Institutions
http://wiki.openarchives.it/images/f/f4/Position_paper_en.pdf (after the
National MedOANet workshop, held on 29 January 2013), and the designation
of Prof. Juan Carlos De Martin, Polytechnic University of Turin, as
national point of reference, in line with the European Commission's
"Recommendation on access to and preservation of scientific information"
2012/417/UE.****

We hope this is only the beginning of a positive trend, that will pave the
way for further progress.****

Thanks for your attention, best regards,****
