Congratulations Prof. Brentier on taking this bold and innovative step. Now we should persuade funding agencies in other countries to take similar steps.

Subject: [GOAL]  Belgium: Funder's Green OA mandate for 2013
 
It is my pleasure to announce that the Board of Administrators of the FRS-FNRS (Fund for Scientific Research in French-speaking Belgium) has officially decided to use exclusively Institutional Repositories as sources of bibliographic data in support of grant or fellowship submission (except for foreign applicants) starting in 2013 (strongly encouraged in 2012).

FRS-FNRS is by far the main funder for basic research in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
