Science today is in a full digital transition and producing massive quantity of data and digital outputs. It is facing several challenges that are connected to criteria that do not match such transformation.
Open Science has the potential to increase quality and efficiency of research and innovation, enhance creativity, collaboration and transparency, bringing back the trust in science through openness.
The European Commission policy and commitments on Open Science (set out in the ERA policy agenda, in the Pact for R&I in Europe and in different EU Council conclusions) aim at supporting the digital transition of science and making Open Science the new normal. They see a process to reform the research assessment, a future for scholarly communication that is fit for the modern research and a wider promotion of citizen and societal engagement. Nevertheless, the OS policy foster the consolidation of OS enables that are key and foundation to make Open Science the modus operandi for researchers. The main enabler is the European Open Science cloud accompanied by support actions to implement FAIR data management in the research process.
