  • 2. LIBER
  • 3. Stockholm University Library

Description

The Open Research Europe is a new publishing platform launched by the European Commission. The platform will provide 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. 

During this webinar, 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 run 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 building group 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 and help shape FAQs that will be specifically tailored to the needs of research libraries to promote and advocate the use of the ORE platform.
