OpenAIRE AMKE is pleased to announce the start of a new H2020 project, OpenAIRE-Nexus, which marks the next era of the OpenAIRE services operation.  The project brings together eleven partners for a duration of 30 months and a total budget of  4mi € to invest on the sustainable growth of an open scholarly communication infrastructure by bringing it in the heart of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

 This mutual effort and collaboration between OpenAIRE and FAIRsharing will ensure that this interconnected information will provide greater knowledge to researchers and other stakeholders. For example researchers will be able to discover related standards alongside the databases that implement specific standards.

The FAIRsharing Community have published a set of criteria for the identification and selection to guide authors in terms of where they should deposit their data. The aim of the document is to make the implementation of research data policies more efficient and consistent, to help improve approaches to data sharing through the promotion data repositories who meet the criteria.

OpenAIRE is fully prepared to accelerate the move forward towards an integrated and open research infrastructure and collaboration with international and European initiatives only strengthens the global shift towards this goal.
