Both types of OA publication cost can be reimbursed in H2020
projects.
Currently, there is no price-cap for APCs.

11. Issues to consider
OpenAIRE Webinar OA to publications in H2020
1. Publishing ALL articles in APC based OA journals is probably
not the right solution as it can lead to a substantial amount of the
project budget.  a mix of depositing articles and publishing in
OA journals is highly recommended.
2. The growing OA market comes with some challenges.
 lots of new publishers/journals some of questionable quality.
