Juncker Commission ( )

Political framing: Digital Single Market (DSM) DSM: "A market in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured and where individuals and businesses can seamlessly access and exercise online activities […]." One of ten Juncker priorities Adopted 6 May 2015 Element of DSM: building a data economy, including through open science

Digital Agenda EU politics are complicated

Aren't they? Andrus Ansip, Vice-President, Digital Single Market Carlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Günther Oettinger, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society

The European Commission is a... Policy maker Invites Member States to act Proposes EU legislation Legislates with other EU institutions Funding agency Sets access and dissemination rules for EC-funded research Research Framework Programmes (Horizon2020) Capacity builder Funds infrastructure projects relevant for open access and Open Science Funds projects that support EC policy

Open Science is … the transformation, opening up and democratisation of science and research and innovation through ICT, with the objectives of making science more efficient, transparent and interdisciplinary, of changing the interaction between science and society, and of enabling broader societal impact and innovation.

Background Open Science: Consultation process  Science 2.0 Online consultation: to  498 submitted responses of which 164 Organisations and 38 Public Authorities  25 position papers submitted in addition to questionnaire (LERU, UK University Organisations, Dutch University Association, EuroTech University Alliance, Publishers (Elsevier, STM), Research Funding Agencies etc.)  Outcomes validated in 4 stakeholder workshops  Key finding: open access to scientific publications and research data remains an important part of the changing scientific system

E-infrastructures for open science Open access to research results & processes Public engagement, citizen science, crowdsourcing Evidence-based policy making / Global Systems Science Evidence-based policy making / Global Systems Science Open Science: challenges No access limitations e.g. Open Science Commons e.g. European Open Science cloud From isolated examples to research methods New ways of funding research Alternative publishing models Research data standards, open metadata Open source Text and Data- mining / copyright Data protection issues Alternative research evaluation/metrics for science and research (Open) peer review Link science and society in policy decisions Societal data deluge and data-intensive modelling for researchers,research organisationsand industry Science for innovation, e.g. ICT and Art

Open Access to Publications

OA to publications in H2020: mandate Each beneficiary must ensure OA to all peer-reviewed scientific publications relating to its results  Deposit a machine-readable copy in a repository (possibly OpenAIRE compliant)  Ensure OA on publication or at the latest within 6 months (12 for SSH) New: Aim to deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results ("underlying data") New: Ensure OA to the bibliographic metadata that identify the deposited publication, via the repository

24 month-subproject of OpenAIRE 2020 Mechanism to support gold open access after end of grant Budget: €4 million FP7 publications For publications published up to two years after project end Up to three peer-reviewed publications per project Other types of peer-reviewed publications considered (e.g. books) Additional criteria for eligibility to be defined, 1 st quarter 2015 (e.g. maximum amount per publications) OA to publications: piloting Gold Open Access APCs for post grant

Open Access to Research Data

Beneficiaries participating in the Pilot will: Deposit a) underlying and b) "other data" as specified in the DMP into a research data repository of their choice Take measures to make it possible to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate free of charge (using e.g. Creative Commons licences) Provide information about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results (where possible, provide the tools and instruments themselves) Note: Actions participating in the Pilot are not obliged to make all datasets open (details described in Data Management Plan) Pilot on Open Research Data: requirements

ORD Pilot: initial take-up in first calls of H2020 Preliminary! Basis: 3054 Horizon 2020 proposals Calls in core-areas: opt out 24.2% (442 of 1824 proposals) – range from 9,1-29,1% Other areas: voluntary opt in 27.2% (334 of 1230 proposals) – range from 9 to 50% Conclusion: 'early days' for the open access to research data pilot, but initial data on uptake in the proposals for the first calls of Horizon 2020 are encouraging. Initial areas well chosen (drop outs below 30%, similar range), comprehensive follow up needed

ORD Pilot: opt-out reasons among proposals

ORD Pilot: approach to data management among proposals

Open research data: work in progress Structure and coverage of the pilot: to remain the same, at least until mid-term review; small incremental changes possible DMP implementation: investigating best- practice; tools to be developed (2015) Focus on monitoring of OA policies for further policy development
