Model Policy on Open Science for Research Funding Organisations (RFOs)

The model policy has been prepared as part of a Toolkit for policy makers on Open Science and Open Access in the context of the EU-funded project OpenAIRE Advance which supports Open Access/ Open Data mandates in Europe. The proposed policy draws heavily on the UNESCO Open Access policy development guidelines, the MedOANet guidelines for Open Access, PASTEUR4OA Toolkit for Research Funders and Policy Guidelines for Funders, the RECODE project policy recommendations for Open Access policies to research data, the LEARN project Model Research Data Management Policy, the policy working group of the EOSC Pilot project,  and the SPARC Europe report on Open Data and Open Science policies in Europe.
