The conference will present the results of the OpenAIRE project which 
supports the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Open Access 
Pilot.^It will feature a picture of the open access & supporting 
infrastructure landscape in Europe and offer views ranging from 
researcher’s views on scientific information, to the role of data 
infrastructures, research institutions and funders. This will offer a 
fitting context to Horizon 2020, where open access will be a general 
principle for all European researchprogrammes. The programme will also 
give insight into the OpenAIREplus proje ct, which will link 
publications to research data, enabling seamless access to scientific 
knowledge.

The agenda includes:

·Introduction to OpenAIRE’s Achievements and Challenges

·Services on Top of Repositories – Enhancing the User Experience

·Policies and Practices on Data and Publications – A Legal Perspective

·International Collaboration on Research Data Infrastructure (iCORDI) & 
Research Data Alliance

·Panel Discussion on Opening Access to Publications & Data – Making the 
Vision Reality

The meeting is organized by OpenAIRE and OpenAIREplus, with the support 
of the Directorate Generals for Communications Networks, Content and 
Technology(CONNECT) and Research and Innovation (RTD). Invitees are 
decision makers and other stakeholders in research from all EU Member 
States and further Associated countries. The event is co-hosted by 
Göttingen University, founded in 1734 during the Enlightenment. 
Göttingen’s spirit of learning has been transferred to the 21^st century 
by the promotion of open access successfully both in Europe and 
internationally. The Conference will send an appropriate signal to the 
European community at a time when the Commission’s Communication & 
Recommendation on Scientific Information are being discussed in European 
member states.

We look forward to see you in Göttingen!

On behalf of the OpenAIRE team,
Birgit Schmidt, OpenAIRE Scientific Manager
