1. This development essentially entails that all authors in the participating countries now have a venue where they can publish #openaccess without any fees.
2. The vision is to develop Open Research Europe (ORE) "as a collective non-profit open access publishing service for the public good".

3. As we outline in our article, such a decentralized public infrastructure can be highly resilient against not only natural or political disasters, but also "against corporate capture and surveillance technologies":

Not yet, I think, but from what I hear and read, it is on their mind - and if it isn't, everybody talking about it will bring it to their attention 😇 😆

I can't think of a better word than decentralzed. Europeans are trying to work together. That is the most decentralised thing to say. Centralised systems dont have to try.

Look at it this way. Unity is about diversity. Its the part of the word unity that makes it it different from the word uniformity.
