  9. Open Access in the EU in FP7 • FP7 programme (2007-2013): OA Pilot • Covers 7 research areas • About 20% of total funding budget • ‘Green’ policy: “best effort” • OpenAIRE: portal harvesting from institutional repositories • Embargoes allowed: 6/12 months • ‘Gold’ OA publishing costs are allowed to be paid from grants • Since the beginning of FP7, for all projects • Limited to duration of project • European Research Council • Updated (2012) Scientific Council Guidelines for OA • Embargo (6 months) including primary data

  10. European Commission • ERA (European Research Area) – EU Member States plus some others (Norway, Switzerland) • Collaborations and joint programmes • Harmonisation of research conditions • Five priority areas: • More effective national research systems • Optimal transnational cooperation • Open labour market for researchers • Gender equality • Optimal circulation and access to scientific knowledge • Horizon 2020 (2014-2020 funding programme)

  11. Open Access in the EU, Horizon 2020 • H2020 programme (2014-2020) • Covers all research areas • 100% of total funding budget • ‘Green’ policy: mandatory • OpenAIRE: portal harvesting from institutional repositories • Embargoes allowed: 6/12 months • ‘Gold’ OA publishing costs are allowed to be paid from grants • For the duration of project • Possibly allowing grant money to cover OA fees for a period after the project ends (to be defined in more detail later)

  12. Horizon 2020 Rules proceeding through European Parliament Currently in committee stage Amendments (> 4500!) over the summer Compromise amendments being considered Committee vote 28 November Parliament vote after that ?? Action ??

  13. Scientific data “Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use and trust of data. In a sense … the data themselves become an infrastructure – a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” (NeelieKroes) H2020 has a proposed DATA PILOT

  14. Research Councils UK (RCUK) • Authors must use ‘RCUK-compliant’ journals: • Offer a Gold option, or • Where a journal does not offer Gold it must offer the Green option with an embargo of <6 months • Or both Gold and Green (author can choose either option)

  15. Perverse consequences Subscription journals lengthen their embargoes to >6 months Subscription journals offer a Gold option = hybrid journals UK authors must pay for this No upper limit on APCs Funds will be given from RCUK to universities to administer... This is NOT a policy for others to follow!
