The document summarizes key aspects of the Open Access policies for Horizon 2020 (H2020), the EU's research and innovation program for 2014-2020, and their alignment with policies across European member states. H2020 has a mandatory 'green' Open Access policy requiring publications to be made available in open repositories. It allows funds for 'gold' open access journal publication and has an open data pilot. The policy aims to coordinate with and support the development of consistent national Open Access policies across EU member states to harmonize research conditions and mobility across Europe.

- 1. Alignment with the H2020 policy Open Access policies in Europe 2 December 2014
- 2. H2020 and Open Access » Mandatory for peer-reviewed publications » ‘Green’ OA mandate (repositories) › Publish as normal in subscription-based journals › Place author’s copy in OA repository » Permits payments from grants for OA journal publication: ‘Gold’ OA » Mute on monographs » Definite on data, announcing an open data pilot for H2020
- 3. FP7 >> H2020 FP7 (Open Access pilot) H2020 ‘Green’ policy: ‘make best efforts…’ ‘Green’ mandate (obligatory) ‘Gold’ payments eligible ‘Gold’ payments eligible Covers 20% of research (selected fields) Covers 100% of research (all fields) 6/12 month embargoes 6/12 month embargoes Mute on monographs Mute on monographs Nothing on Open Data Open Data pilot
- 4. Recommendation to MS » Member States develop policies on OA » Consistency between H2020 policy and those of MS » Coordination of MS at EU level » Reporting at MS and EU level » Multi-stakeholder dialogue to be established
- 5. Recommendation to MS » Member States develop policies on OA » Consistency between H2020 policy and those of MS » Coordination of MS at EU level » Reporting at MS and EU level » Multi-stakeholder dialogue to be established
- 6. Policy alignment » Irons out dissonances for researchers working in interdisciplinary areas or on international teams » Supports EU harmonisation agenda for ERA (research conditions, researcher mobility, etc) » Key issue in changing author practices and norms » Allows generic infrastructural services to be established in support of policy
- 7. Already +/- aligned in the ERA » Austria (Austrian Research Council, 2006) » Belgium (Flanders, 2007) » Belgium (Wallonia, 2013) » Denmark (the 5 research councils, 2012) » Hungary (Hungarian Research Fund, 2009) » Ireland (the 4 research funders + research organisations, 2012) » Italy (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, 2014)) » Norway (Norwegian Research Council, 2009) » Portugal (FCT, Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science & Technology, 2014) » Spain (National Government policy 2011) » Sweden (the 2 research councils, 2009, 2010) » Switzerland (Swiss National Science Foundation, 2007)
- 8. As the H2020 policy embeds ... » Coordination across the Union » 28 Member States (some of which already have policies of their own) » Some have centres of expertise, many do not » Some may welcome support: others may happily offer support » Coordination is key
- 9. H2020 Open Data pilot » Areas participating in 2014-15: › Future and Emerging Technologies › Research infrastructures – part of e-Infrastructures › Information & Communication Technologies › Societal challenge: Secure, Clean & Efficient Energy › Societal Challenge: Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials (except Raw Materials) › Societal Challenge: Europe in a Changing World – inclusive, innovative and reflective societies › Science with and for Society » Other areas can participate voluntarily
