OpenAIRE

Founded in 2018, OpenAIRE is a non-profit network based in Marousi, Greece working on science & research, education.

OpenAIRE is a non-profit partnership of around 50 organisations, established as a legal entity (OpenAIRE A.M.K.E.) in 2018 to ensure a permanent open scholarly communication infrastructure for European research. It operates a public, community-governed e-infrastructure that aggregates and interlinks publications, data, software, projects and organisations, and offers services to researchers, research support staff, funders, institutions and content providers. Its work includes Open Science policy support and monitoring, training and capacity building (including Train-the-Trainer bootcamps and an online learning platform), and a network of National Open Access Desks across European countries. OpenAIRE is a key implementer of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and, together with OPERAS, forms the EOSC Scholarly Commons Node within the EOSC Federation. The organisation states it has been operating an e-infrastructure since 2008. It is hosted by the Athena Research Innovation Center in Marousi, Greece, and is supported by members and experts in 37 European countries and beyond.
