DIT Adopts Research Mandate

As a sign of its comittment to the Open Access to Research movement, DIT has now become the first Irish third level institution to offically adopt a research mandate as recommended by the Berlin Declaration. This requires all staff/researchers to lodge a copy of their research output with the DIT Institutional Repository - ARROW. DIT joins 178 other organisations throughout the world to mandate its researchers in this way. Check out details of DIT's policy on the Arrow website.
