In Portugal, the first open access initiatives were carried out by the University of Minho with the creation of RepositóriUM in 2003 and the definition of an institutional policy of self-archiving in 2004.{{cite book |title=Uma Década de Acesso Aberto na UMinho e no Mundo |isbn= 978-989-98704-0-6 |publisher= Universidade do Minho |chapter=RepositóriUM: 10 anos de acesso aberto ao conhecimento |author1= Eloy Rodrigues |author2=Ricardo Saraiva |year=2013 |hdl= 1822/27502 |language=pt }} In the following years began SciELO Portugal, for the publication of open access journals, and new repositories in several higher education institutions. The Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP) launched in 2008.{{cite web |url=http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/handle/1822/20542 |title=Acesso Aberto à literatura científica em Portugal: o passado, o presente e o futuro |year=2012 |language=pt |author=Ricardo Saraiva|display-authors=etal|publisher= Associação Portuguesa de Bibliotecários, Arquivistas e Documentalistas }}

Following an agreement signed between the Ministers of Science and Technology of Portugal and Brazil in October 2009, the first Luso-Brasilien Open Access Conference took place in November 2010 in Braga, Portugal.{{cite web |url=http://confoa.rcaap.pt/2018/apresentacao/eventos-anteriores/ |title=Eventos Anteriores |work=Conferência Luso-Brasileira sobre Acesso Aberto |language=pt |access-date= 12 February 2018 }}
