Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted the National Strategy of Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data in Slovenia 2015-2020 in September 2015 (later prolongued to 2021) and the action plan in May 2017.

A new Scientific Research and Innovation Activities Act came into force in Slovenia with the beginning of 2022 and also contains provisions regarding open science (see blogpost). A subordinate Decree on performing scientific research according to the principles of open science underwent the public consultation and will be approved by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.

In the Resolution on the Slovenian Scientific Research and Innovation Strategy 2030 (adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia), a chapter is dedicated to open science (see blogpost). Action plan for the implementation of the Resolution regarding open science is in preparation (August 2022) and will coincide with the national Recovery and Resilience Plan activities on digitisation for open science.
