Cosa finanzia questo bando?

Scope

The topic helps research performing organisations across the EU adopt or expand institutional policies on open access and rights retention, so that authors or institutions keep enough rights to make publications immediately available under an open licence. Policies should be tailored to national legal and policy contexts and consider research assessment reform, the cost of open access and disciplinary practices.

Expected activities

• Build networks of research institutions working towards aligned rights retention policies.
• Produce guidance, tools, training materials and documented best practice.
• Design strategies to maximise approval and adoption of these policies by researchers.

Expected outcomes

• More research performing organisations with open access policies that include rights retention clauses.
• A higher share of open access publications, especially in countries with lower performance.
• Better access to and preservation of scientific information through institutional repositories.
