Mission & Interests

Goals: Our Mission Did you know that a large part of publicly funded research is trapped behind a paywall? That the cost to read a scientific journal can reach up to €20,000 a year? And that most research data financed with government money isn’t publicly available at all? In short, we don’t have full access to knowledge we already pay for. If access is available, we are often required to pay again. The mission of the United Academics Foundation (UAF) is to connect science and society: creating a world where scientific research results are accessible for all, so that knowledge can easily spread and be built upon. Supporting Open Access In the current scientific publishing system, the gatekeepers limit access to research by charging high membership fees to individuals, companies, research centers and libraries. Furthermore, authors lose copyrights, re-use of articles is restricted and the publication process is inexorably slow. Fortunately, times are changing. (...)
