Description

The EU Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP) is a High-Level Advisory Group established by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (RTD) of the European Commission (EC) in May 2016, comprising 26 expert representatives of the broad constituency of European science stakeholders. In May 2020, the OSPP published its final report gathering the work achieved by the OSPP during its two mandates, helping the EC to discuss and practically implementing Open Science in the European Research landscape. This report reviews the Practical Commitments for Implementation (PCIs) of Open Science practices made by each of the actors in the system and discusses potential blockers (and next steps) to progress. It then goes on to call on all European Member States and other relevant actors from the public and private sectors to help co-create, develop and maintain a ‘Research System based on shared knowledge’ by 2030. This presentation will provide a summary of the key points and issues addressed by the report.
