Model Policy on Open Science for Research Performing Organisations (RPOs)

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 OpenAIRE Advance project that aims to support 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 and Policy Guidelines, 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.
