Support the implementation of Open Access in Europe

OpenAIRE provides the means to promote and realize the widespread adoption of the Open Access Policy, as set out by the ERC Scientific Council Guidelines for Open Access and the Open Access pilot launched by the European Commission.

Objectives

• establish the infrastructure for researchers to support them in complying with the EC OA pilot and the ERC Guidelines on Open Access.
• provide an extensive European Helpdesk System, based on a distributed network of national and regional liaison offices in 27 countries, to ensure localized help to researchers within their own context.
• build an OpenAIRE portal and e-Infrastructure for the repository networks and explore scientific data management services together with 5 disciplinary communities.
• provide a repository facility for researchers who do not have access to an institutional or discipline-specific repository.
