This document discusses the European Commission's policy on open access. It defines open access as online access to peer-reviewed scientific publications and research data that is available at no charge to the user. The policy aims to optimize the impact of publicly-funded research and provide benefits to science, the economy, and society. The Horizon 2020 program includes a mandate that publications and certain datasets resulting from funded projects be made openly accessible. The document outlines the open access policy requirements and provides resources for open access publishing and data management.

The global shift towards making research findings available free of charge and sharing and opening up the research process, so-called 'Open Science’, has been a core strategy in the European Commission to improve knowledge circulation and innovation.
It is illustrated in particular by the Open Science policies for the ECs framework programme.
In this webinar, I will talk about the OS policies for open access to scientific publications and the pilot for research data in Horizon 2020, followed by a preview of what to expect for Open Science in the new Horizon Europe programme.

In September 2018 when cOAlition S put out their Plan S for making Open Access an immediate reality, there was concern about how journals would become compliant in the short time available and what exactly was required to do that. The guidance mentioned that being indexed in DOAJ is necessary but that is only one criteria of many. There are other, new criteria which are additional to the DOAJ ones. DOAJ, among others, is mentioned as a key player in the certification process so the DOAJ Team have looked very carefully at what is being asked. One of the problems is that the exact data to be captured for those requirements have not yet been set and work by cOAlition S to do that is only slated to start imminently. In this presentation, I will explain what those extra Plan S criteria might be and how we think that they might be measured and captured. I will explain how we think the certification process, at least at DOAJ, might go and what the difference is between DOAJ certification and Plan S certification.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

European Commission policy on
open access
Gent, 18 Nov. 2015 – OpenAIRE Workshop
2. What is open access (OA)?
• OA = online access at no charge to the user
• to peer-reviewed scientific publications
• to research data (includes re-use)
Why open access?
• To optimise the impact of publicly-funded research
• Expected benefits of open access:
- Good for science: efficiency, verifiability, transparency
- Good for the economy: access and take-up by industry
- Good for society: broader, faster, transparent and equal
access for citizens
3. Broader context: Open Science
• The transformation and opening up of science and
research through ICT
• Expected impacts:
• Make science more efficient, transparent,
interdisciplinary
• Enable broader societal impact and innovation.
• Areas: open access, citizen engagement,
e-infrastructure, research assessment and metrics, …
4. Commissioner view
"Open science is […] about
making sure that science serves
innovation and growth. It
guarantees open access to
publicly-funded research results
and the possibility of
knowledge sharing […]."

8. What OA is NOT
• Not an obligation to publish
• Not at odds with patenting (see graph)
• Not of lower quality (peer review process)
9. OA to publications mandate in H2020
Each beneficiary must ensure OA to all peer-reviewed
scientific publications relating to its results:
• Deposit a machine-readable copy of the published version
or final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication in
a repository of the researchers choice (possibly OpenAIRE
compliant)
• Ensure OA on publication or at the latest within 6/12
months
• Ensure OA to the bibliographic metadata that identify the
deposited publication, via the repository
• Aim to deposit at the same time the research data needed
to validate the results ("underlying data")
10. Routes towards OA:
• OA publishing/gold and self-archiving/green considered valid
and complementary routes
• Self-archiving: 'traditional' publication plus deposit of manuscripts
in a repository ('Green OA')
Both versions contain the same peer-reviewed content, but may be
differently formatted
• OA publishing: immediate OA provided by publisher ('Gold OA')
usually, but not always, 'Author-pay' model (APC)
some journals offer both subscriptions and open access publishing to
selected on-line articles (hybrid journals)
• Deposit into a repository also in the case of OA publishing
OA to publications mandate in H2020
11. Licencing:
• Encouragement to authors to retain their copyright and grant
adequate licences to publishers (e.g. Creative Commons)
Costs for OA publishing:
• Eligibility of OA publishing costs during the grant (as in FP7)
• FP7 post-grant Open Access publishing funds pilot
OA to publications mandate in H2020
12. • 24 month-subproject of OpenAIRE 2020
(https://www.openaire.eu/goldoa/fp7-post-grant/pilot)
• Mechanism to support gold open access after end of grant
• Budget: €4 million
• FP7 publications
• For publications published up to two years after project end
• Up to three peer-reviewed publications per project
• OA monographs are eligible
• 2000 euros per publication; No hybrids
• The pilot started its operation on June 1, 2015. It is therefore too
early for a statistically significant analysis.

14. Pilot on Open Research Data in H2020
Key questions:
• Which thematic areas are covered?
• What data is covered?
• What are the requirements?
• What about data management?
15. Areas of the 2016-2017 Work Programme participating in
the Open Research Data Pilot are:
• Future and Emerging Technologies
• Research infrastructures – (new: coverage of the whole area)
• Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies – Information
and Communication Technologies
• Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing
and Processing, and Biotechnology: ‘nanosafety’ and ‘modelling’
topics (new)
• Societal Challenge: Food security, sustainable agriculture and
forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the
bioeconomy - selected topics as specified in the work programme
(new)
Pilot on Open Research Data: Scope(1)
16. Continued
• Societal Challenge: Climate Action, Environment, Resource
Efficiency and Raw materials – except raw materials
• Societal Challenge: Europe in a changing world – inclusive,
innovative and reflective Societies
• Science with and for Society
• Cross-cutting activities - focus areas – part Smart and Sustainable
Cities (moved from Energy WP)
Projects in other areas are encouraged to participate on a
voluntary basis
Pilot on Open Research Data: Scope(2)
17. Projects may opt out of the Pilot on Open Research Data in
Horizon 2020 in a series of cases (submission stage):
• If the project will not generate / collect any data
• Conflict with obligation to protect results
• Conflict with confidentiality obligations
• Conflict with security obligations
• Conflict with rules on protection of personal data
• If the achievement of the action’s main objective would be
jeopardised by making specific parts of the research data openly
accessible (to be explained in data management plan)
Participation in the Pilot is not part of the project evaluation
Opting out during project also possible
Being in the Pilot does not mean opening all data
Pilot on Open Research Data: Opt-out
18. Pilot on Open Research Data: requirements
Types of data concerned:
• Data needed to validate the results presented in scientific
publications ("underlying data")
• Other data as specified in data management plan (=up to
projects)
Beneficiaries participating in the Pilot will:
• Deposit this data in a research data repository of their choice
• Take measures to make it possible to access, mine, exploit,
reproduce and disseminate free of charge
• Provide information about tools and instruments at the disposal
of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results
(where possible, provide the tools and instruments themselves)
Approach: as open as possible, as closed as necessary
19. Data management in Horizon 2020
• Data Management Plans (DMPs) mandatory for all projects
participating in the Pilot, optional for others
• DMPs are NOT part of the proposal evaluation
• To be generated within first 6 months of project, updates as
needed
• DMP questions (EC template):
•What data will be collected / generated?
•What standards will be used / how will metadata be generated?
•What data will be exploited? What data will be shared / opened?
•How will data be curated and preserved?
• DMP: tool to determine what datasets can/cannot be open
20. Data management in Horizon 2020
• Which tool ?
• DMPonline (developed by Data Curation Centre, UK): helps
create a DMP based on the EC template
• mid-term view: a EC DMP tool ? under discussion
• Costs for data management
• eligible costs as part of Horizon 2020 research grants; no extra
money assigned to them
• art. 6.2.D.3 of the Annotated Model Grant Agreement refers to
"costs of other goods and services"
• including dissemination costs i.e. notably costs related to data
maintenance or storage
21. ORD Pilot: take-up in first calls of H2020
• Basis: 3699 Horizon 2020 signed grant agreements
• Calls in core-areas: opt out 34,6% (149/431)
In other words 65,4% of projects in the core areas
participate in the ORD pilot.
• Other areas: voluntary opt in 11,9% (409/3268)
Limited divergence from 2014 proposal figures but
larger dataset used
Note that 100% participation is not feasible or even
desirable (e.g. not all projects generate data)

23. ORD Pilot: a chance to co-shape policy
• Opening up research data: the new frontier
• Ambitious, yet pragmatic design of the pilot: broad scope, opt-
out, voluntary participation possible
• Pilot is flexible; numerous safeguards in place
• Aim: kick-starting a virtuous circle
• Uptake of and experiences with the Pilot need to be monitored
during the complete life cycle of a project: from application, to
grant preparation, execution and final reporting
• Participating in the Pilot means co-shaping European
policy on opening up research data
