Open Access to Knowledge
“Scientific information has the power to transform our
lives for the better - it is too valuable to be locked away.”
Neelie Kroes
Vice President of the European Commission for the Digital Agenda
OpenAIRE brings the innovation cycle to a new open
world, contributing to the Digital Agenda for Europe

OpenAIRE & Open Access
OpenAIRE makes Open Access a reality for
research publications
OpenAIRE implements the OA pilot in FP7 of
the EC
OpenAIRE addresses projects with special
clause 39 in their grant agreement …
… and beyond

OpenAIRE & Infrastructures
- OpenAIRE delivers participatory infrastructure
of repositories, technologies, people
- building on existing European infrastructures
- pushing coordination of repositories
- capitalizing on existing technologies
- building up support networks for and of people

o Links OA repositories with FP7 / ERC projects
o Provides repository for “homeless” publications
o Calculates statistics on OA/FP7/ERC deposition

OpenAIRE Participatory Design
Institutional repositories
and depositions
growing over time
Strong institutional
commitment: responsibility
and mission for maintaining
central repository
Individual cost can be very high: Participatory design
avoids expense duplication
Founded on DRIVER’s 292(↑) validated repositories
