Why Open Access ?

According to the Budapest Open Access Initiative, open access is not an end in itself, but a way to improve equity, quality, usability, and sustainability of research.

We support the open access model because it enables researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to use scientific results without financial or technical barriers. This approach is especially important for the field of social security, where evidence based knowledge can support better public decisions and stronger social protection systems.
