The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) is a signatary of the Berlin Declaration since the last year. In April 2009 the Scientific Council of the Academy stepped forward and recommended in a statement addressed to the newly elected management of the Academy to: formulate ASCR policy for OA; finish preparation of the central institutional repository of ASCR and use it for OA; actively use ASCR’s potential as a unified and strong organization for effective development of an information infrastructure for R&D and determine concrete rules for access to infrastructures built in the frame of “OP VaVpI EU” projects. The Czech Academy of Sciences Library (CASL) has been invited to participate in the process and actively contribute to the OA case in the future. There are a few projects with central impact that concerns OA. We describe two of them in the paper.
