Argentina has followed Peru as the second country in Latin America to mandate public access to scientific research. The National Senate unanimously approved the law requiring the those institutions of the National System of Science and Technology which receive funding from the National State to make the results of their research open access.
The secretary of Scientific and Technological Articulation from the Ministry, Alejandro Ceccatto, said that the mandate’s "… aim is that publicly-funded scientific production be available. It is unacceptable that society cannot access to the information resulting from research activities funded by the National State".
We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
