PEER End of Project Results Conference - presentations available at
http://www.peerproject.eu/peer-end-of-project-conference-29th-may-2012/

The PEER Project (www.peerproject.eu), held its final event to present
its results on 29 May in Brussels.  More than 100 attendees from the
research, university, and STM publishing communities, as well as
policy makers attended the conference.  Comments by Vice President
Neelie Kroes (Digital Agenda) from the European Commission opened the
meeting (speech available at:
http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=SPEECH/12/392&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en)
followed by an agenda reflecting the collaborative nature of the PEER
project with results and perspectives from various stakeholders
presented throughout the day.  The presentations given at this event
as well as the PEER Executive Partner statements resulting from this
successful project can be found online at:

The PEER project, supported by the EC eContentplus programme
(http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/econtentplus/index_en.htm),
aimed to investigate the effects of the large-scale, systematic
depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed manuscripts (so called
Green Open Access or stage-two research output) on reader access,
author visibility, and journal viability, as well as on the broader
ecology of European research.

For any enquiries relating to PEER, please contact Julia Wallace,
Project Manager of PEER at wallace at stm-assoc.org
