Later this year, the European Commission will launch the ‘Open Research Europe’ (ORE), an open-access Publishing Platform for Horizon 2020 beneficiaries. ORE is a significant step towards Open Science in Europe. LIBER, as an expert partner in the project, will ensure that the voice of research librarians is heard in the project. In this respect, this survey was launched early September, so please complete the questionnaire and let’s make a difference together!Thank you in advance for your participation.
