Recognizing the contributions of open access movement, the CNUDST contributed to the international exerted efforts to widespread OPEN Access to the scientific and technical information in Tunisia.
In this context, CNUDST crowned its commitment to this new path of scientific communication through its participation as a partner in the cooperation project TEMPUS – ISTeMAG “Optimizing Access to Scientific and Technical Information in the universities of the Maghreb” which one of its aims is the adoption of an open access policy throughout the Maghreb.
Thanks to this kind of pioneer action, CNUDST has expertise in this field through international experts belonging especially to the non-governmental organization EIFL, the European organization for nuclear research CERN, Lorraine university, The Université libre de Bruxelles etc.
It therefore goes without saying that CNUDST is also an active member of a working group on Open Access in collaboration with the research team “Open Access to STI“ of the Higher Institute of Documentation.
