Research and innovation within the European Research Area (ERA) are slated to become easier thanks to open access to information for researchers.
Horizon 2020, the EU's latest and most ambitious research and innovation programme yet, is espousing the concept of open access to all researchers and relevant stakeholders within the ERA. Based on this, the EU-funded FOSTER (Facilitate open science training for European research) project is supporting different stakeholders in exploiting open access, particularly by young researchers in their working environment. It is also reinforcing training in institutions to preserve compliance in line with the ERA's open access philosophy.
