The document outlines the OpenAIRE initiative, which aims to enhance open science across Europe by fostering collaboration among a network of 50 partners, including data centers and universities. It emphasizes the importance of open access, interoperability, and monitoring within the research community while establishing a framework for services and support to facilitate these goals. The presentation was given at the ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, focusing on specific activities and priorities for advancing open science initiatives.

7. PRIORITIES
ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia - Sept 26, 2016 7

8. From Open Access
to Open Science
ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia - Sept 26, 2016 8
Open Access far from a done deal (EU/EC call for full OA by
2020) BUT agenda has progressed …
Open Science: open scientific processes and products from
all levels to everyone …
• Open Access (publications, data, software …)
• Open Methodology (open notebooks, study preregistration,
replicability)
• Open Evaluation (open metrics, open peer review)
Goal: Put the Open Science policy on the agenda
of all Member States & stakeholders in a concrete
and tangible form
Priority #1

9. Towards Open Science – specific
activities
ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia - Sept 26, 2016 9
Networking
• Empower the NOADs network with mechanisms to allow policy
formulation and alignment
• RDM for all - tools and training for researchers, administrators and
coordinators
Technical
• Integrate additional research artefacts (software, methods, models,
protocols, …) and other research related objects
• Tools for creation and assessment of machine-readable data
management plans (DMPs)

10. Advance Interoperability
ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia - Sept 26, 2016 10
• Interoperability at all e-Infrastructure layers
• Repositories and registries (at data provider sites)
• With other infrastructures (publishers, PSI, media,
…)
• Better service integration with e-Infras (Geant,
EUDAT, EGI) and VREs
• Legal compatibility
• Advising and counselling services
Priority #2

11. Interoperability – specific activities
ICT Proposers' Day 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia - Sept 26, 2016 11
Networking

Technical
• Guidelines for all types of repositories and registries (including
pre-print servers, CRIS systems, funders databases)
• Pilot and promote state-of the art technologies for repository
interoperability & metadata/content exchange

12. Provide 24x7 services
