One-stop shop for Open Access in Europe

What we do

Operate services to implement open science policies

We operate a participatory infrastructure to support the interoperability and connectivity of all research related data sources and produce an interlinked scholarly communication graph.

Offer Open Science services to research communities

We provide tailored versions of OpenAIRE's tools and services (deposition, aggregation, cleaning, enrichment, claiming) to research communities for their open science needs.

Support Open Access and open science policies

We are shaping and implementing effective OA and Open Science policies via our network of 33 National Open Access Desk (NOADs) that form a pan-European Helpdesk.

Offer an open innovation platform

We open up OpenAIRE's scholarly communication graph for others to use and to build value added services, and actively promote open, innovative services from 3rd party providers to accelarate open scholarship.

Provide a European wide Research Information platform

We operate a monitoring and analysis platform for all European research. We promote transparency with reports available to all.

Act as Europe's Open Science Gateway to the world

We connect Europe and its outcomes to the global research ecosystem via common access policies, data standards, and data exchange.

You run an institutional repository or CRIS system and you want to better connect to the world.

Content provider?

Make your content visible, richer

You are one of the experts or leaders in your research community. You want to know the specifics of open science and how to apply them. You would like to have off-the-shelf services and tools so that you and your peers gather and share all your research outcomes in one place and assess the impact. You want to know of the links to other disciplines.

Research community?

Find all your open science tools in one place

You represent a national or private funding agency. You are interested in how you may apply OA policies and which services to use to implement themse. Once you do this, you would like to know how your OA policies or your funded research fare. You want to closely monitor research trends and impact to improve your future decisions.

Funder?

Make informed decisions

You are an individual or an SME and you want to build innovative services which will advance open scholarship. You are an SME or an initiative and you want to extract knowledge from research, to develop research analytics for various domains of European research.

Innovator?
