Mission of FIGARO

As a partner organisation within the European academic community, our
mission is to enhance scientific communication by improving the speed,
simplicity and cost, which we aim to do through innovations in scholarly
publishing.

We strive to provide effective and efficient e-publishing services to
individual scientists and scientific organisations through the use of a
shared organizational structure and the utilization of open source and
standard base software tools wherever possible.

We are committed to supporting our customers by facilitating scientific
communication and the publishing process in a way that allows them to
retain ownership of their work as well as present their own profile or
identity.
