OpenAIRE2020 represents a pivotal phase in the long-term effort to 
implement and strengthen the impact of the Open Access (OA) policies of 
the European Commission (EC), building on the achievements of the 
OpenAIRE projects. OpenAIRE2020 will expand and leverage its focus from 
(1) the agents and resources of scholarly communication toworkflows and 
processes, (2) from publications to data, software, and other research 
outputs, and the links between them, and (3) strengthen the relationship 
of European OA infrastructures with other regions of the world, in 
particular Latin Americaand the U.S. OpenAIRE2020 represents the third 
funding phase of OpenAIRE and SUB Göttingen acts as the scientific 
coordinator.

In many areas of the University of Göttingen, women are 
underrepresented. Therefore, applications from women are especially 
appreciated and will be treated preferentially in domains where women 
are particularly underrepresented, if the appropriate qualification 
profile is met and legal constraints permit. In case of equal 
qualifications, disabled persons are given preference.
