Description

This report contains the findings of the Phase Two of Project Retain began in the summer of 2024, building on the work of Phase One, which was completed with the publication of Opening Knowledge: Retaining Rights and Licensing in Europe 2023.

This report identifies broad trends and patterns across Europe, considering a wide range of stakeholder groups, to better understand how institutional rights retention policies are developing across ten European countries. The case studies published in this report highlight different approaches and rates of progress, and feature initiatives in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, and the UK.

Project Retain is led by SPARC Europe as part of The Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) Programme, funded by Arcadia fund (https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/).
