BACKGROUND

OpenAIRE is a European Commission-funded initiative that supports implementation of the Horizon 2020 OA mandate for publications and its Open Research Data Pilot. OpenAIRE also assists in monitoring Horizon 2020 research outputs, and provides the main infrastructure for reporting Horizon 2020's scholarly publications.

The OpenAIRE infrastructure interacts with a wide range of research output sources, and interconnects research results (publications and data), linking them to the processes that produced them (scientific software, workflows, services, instruments) and releasing them for everyone to see, reuse, and reproduce.

EIFL is one of 50 OpenAIRE2020 project partners working on this large-scale initiative which aims to promote open scholarship and substantially improve the discoverability and reusability of research publications and data.

EIFL is ALSO a partner in FOSTER, short for Facilitate Open Science training for European Research. FOSTER is a a European Commission-funded project that aims to support different stakeholders, especially young researchers, in practising OA, open data sharing and open science. EIFL leads the training programme.
