Open Research Europe (ORE): The Framework, Goals, and Developments

Open Research Europe is a new publishing platform launched by the European Commission. The platform provides all Horizon 2020 beneficiaries and their collaborators with an easy, high-quality venue to publish Horizon 2020-funded research at no cost and in full compliance with the Commission’s open access policies.

Event

On 15th October 2021, LIBER will host a webinar – ‘Open Research Europe: the framework, the goals, and the developments’. During this event, attendees will get the opportunity to get acquainted with the ORE platform, learn about its goals and the developments so far. Examples and statistics of current users will also be presented to paint a better picture of the platform’s functionalities and importance.

During the fall of 2020, LIBER & ORE ran a survey to gain insights on the awareness, perception and experience with open practices and tools – with a special focus on research librarians. The results and the insights gained from the survey responses will be presented during the webinar and will also serve as the basis to explore the opportunities and advantages that the ORE platform can offer to research libraries and their research communities.

This session is a unique opportunity to learn more about the ORE platform, help shape FAQs that will be specifically tailored to the needs of research libraries, and to promote and advocate the use of the ORE platform.
