OpenAIRE 2020

A year after the start of the EC's Horizon 2020 framework programme, OpenAIRE enters a new phase of funding with a continuation project: OpenAIRE2020, starting in January 2015.

OpenAIRE2020 will assist in monitoring H2020 research outputs and will be a key infrastructure for reporting H2020's scientific publications. The EC's Research Data Pilot will be supported through European-wide outreach for best research data management practices and Zenodo, which will provide long-tail data storage.

Jisc will become the UK National OA Desk (NOAD), which means they will be providing support and information to help UK institutions and researchers comply with the EC’s Horizon 2020 programme policies on open access and open data. Jisc, through the DCC, will also have a specific role in OpenAIRE2020 to help support the EC open data pilot. Read more about the UK role in Rachel Bruce's blog post.
