Leading with the example
• EU Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation:
• Scientific publications• FP7 (2007-2013) experimented with Green OA and covered
OA publishing costs• Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) makes OA to publications the
general principle for all projects
• Research data• Experiment with access to data underlying publications• Limited to some scientific area and "Best effort" requirement
