Economic impact of options for improving access to and reuse of research results, publications and data for scientific purposes
Hosted by the EC Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, this workshop concerns the findings of an economic study launched in the context of structural policy 1 of the European Research Area Policy Agenda 2025-2027.
The findings of this study will be presented by the study consortium.
The economic study is complementary to the major study “Improving access to and reuse of research results, publications and data for scientific purposes”, which was published in May 2024. It analyses the economic impact of the identified policy measures on EU-wide secondary publication right and harmonised research exception to EU copyright rules.
The study team will present the findings of the economic study, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
The economic study will be published before the workshop.
