Today, as part of Open Access Week, Jisc and CNI have released the report of our July 2014 joint meeting titled "The Journey Towards Openness".

Every two years, Jisc and CNI have brought together a small group of leaders from both the US and the UK to explore a topic of joint interest related to digital content, technology, and higher education. At this meeting we took a very broad look at what we called the the "journey towards openness", encompassing open access, open data and open scholarship, some of the interrelationships among these developments, and some particular challenges in international cooperation to advance these shifts. The report also contains brief summaries of a number of important events that have taken place since the 2014 conference, providing an ongoing context for the discussions.

There is a short blog post summarizing the report at
