Funding Open Science and Research

Last updated 24.1.2025

The Working Group on Funding Open Science and Research

The working group is established by the National Steering Group on Open Science and Research with the objective of designing a funding model for open science and creating a supporting action plan for all areas of openness. The working group is set to meet for the first time on May 30, 2023, and has a two-year term of office.

The first version of the road map was subjected to a public round of comments from 28 October until 5 December 2024.

The group consists of a wide-ranging representation of actors who fund and direct research and higher education, research organizations, enablers of open science and research, as well as NGOs promoting research transparency.
