At OpenAIRE, our aim is to make research available and accessible to everyone. As a provider of services, training, and advocacy, our goal is to provide practical solutions that enable successful Open Science implementation that seamlessly integrate into the global and European open scholarly communication ecosystems. OpenAIRE's commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies that meet the community's needs has played an essential role in achieving this goal, and we are dedicated to continuing to improve our tools and services.

Since our inception, we have systematically provided services to researchers, research staff, libraries, funders, and institutions throughout Europe and beyond. Thanks to the funding from the Horizon 2020 OpenAIRE-Nexus project,  we have established partnerships with approximately thirty organisations over the past two years. Through these partnerships, we provide free, customised, on-demand services to University Alliances, Research Initiatives, Research Performing Organisations, and Research Funding Organisations, thereby contributing to the realisation of Open Science. In practice.    

Based on community feedback, we strive to continuously improve our portfolio, offering new features, functionalities, and hands-on solutions. Until the end of the OpenAIRE-Nexus funding period (June 2023), our on-demand services, such as CONNECT and MONITOR, which rely on the OpenAIRE Graph, will remain free of charge.    

Take advantage of our on-demand services without having to pay any setup fees. Our experts are here to provide personal consultations and tailor-made solutions that meet your specific needs. 

Even though the core OpenAIRE services (e.g., OpenAIRE Graph, PROVIDE, Zenodo, UsageStats) will remain free at the point of use, we would like to inform you that, beginning in 2024, our on-demand services will incur a combination of setup and subscription fees. These fees will help ensure the long-term sustainability of these services and allow us to continue providing the research community with high-quality services and support.  

We welcome you to visit our website, catalogue of services, our dedicated section for RPO’s  and contact us directly at helpdesk[@]openaire.eu to learn more about OpenAIRE, our services, and how we can help you achieve a greater impact. 

We look forward to hearing from you and supporting your Open Science journey!
