| Abstract: | This European academic digital publishing project is a collaborative effort of European universities and publishers whose aim is to support the European academic community by making scholarly publishing faster, cheaper, and simpler. The network will continue to expand into a digital e-publishing platform and will offer its European participants a technical infrastructure and a network organization strategy that will facilitate the total digital publishing process. In May 2002, the Information Society Directoratte-General of the European Union granted FIGARO a EUR 1.4 million subsidy for the project. Universities in The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and Belgium are current participants. Other participants include various commercial publishing companies and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition. |
