The new short video Strengthening Democracy through Open Access [German only] highlights the importance of open access for a vibrant, informed, and participatory democracy. It shows why free access to scientific information is important and what role it plays in shaping opinion, transparency, and equal opportunities in the face of fake news and disinformation. It provides insights into how open access has an impact beyond science.
The video was produced as part of the BMFTR-funded project open-access.network at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). It can be viewed and downloaded from the TIB's AV portal.
