Services and tools to underpin a research assessment system that incentivises open science practices
This Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action (RIA) supports the development of critical services and tools designed to transform research assessment by incentivizing open science practices. The program aims to foster a new generation of qualitative and quantitative metrics, enhance the quality, impact, and transparency of scientific research, and contribute to the overarching European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem. This initiative is crucial for evolving how research outputs are valued and shared across disciplines.
Who is Funded
This program targets research-performing and research-funding organizations across Europe and associated countries, with specific provisions for non-EU participation. Its primary objective is to drive a systemic shift in research assessment by promoting open science practices through the development of innovative tools and services, thereby contributing to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
What is Funded
This program focuses on funding projects that develop services and tools to enhance research assessment and open science practices, primarily through Research and Innovation Actions. It supports the creation of advanced digital infrastructure and applications that can gather, monitor, and analyze research outputs and their usage.
Type and Scope of Funding
The program provides financial support in the form of grants. For the HORIZON-INFRA-2022-EOSC-01-01 topic, individual projects could receive grants ranging from 2,000,000 € to 3,000,000 €, contributing to a total allocated budget of 6,000,000 € for this specific topic.
