The League of European Research Universities (LERU) has launched two statements on the importance of Open Scholarship: ‘Open Access to Research Publications’ and ‘Open Research Data’.

 

LERU's Open Access to Research Publications statement encourages European Universities to embed Open Access efforts into pan university strategies and also respective universities need to fully align Open Access within their institutional mission.

 

The Open Research Data statement encourages the release of research data on the public domain as a key output of open Knowledge. This statement provides institutional measures to be employed by universities in dealing with Open data.
