JAN VELTEROP IS LEAVING BIOMED CENTRAL TO CONCENTRATE ON PROMOTING OPEN
ACCESS TO SOCIETIES, FUNDING INSTITUTIONS AND PUBLISHERS

Jan Velterop, Director and Publisher of BioMed Central, will be leaving to
pursue independently his many engagements as an advocate of Open Access to
societies, funding institutions and publishers.

Jan has been a key figure in the development of the Open Access model and
its acceptance by the research community, and will now be extending his
expertise to other organizations and interest groups.

Matthew Cockerill and Anne Greenwood will take joint responsibility for
publishing and other activities of BioMed Central as the business
continues its rapid growth.

BioMed Central wishes Jan great success for the future and we look forward
to continuing to work together to advance the success of Open Access
publishing.
