Project Description

Open Research Europe (ORE) was launched by the European Commission in 2021 to offer an open access publishing platform for EU-funded research, ensuring high-quality, transparent publication processes. Since its inception and launch, ORE has provided researchers with an alternative publishing venue without author-facing fees that is focused on immediate publication of their outputs followed by quality assurance through open peer review. 

Starting in the second half of 2026, ORE enters a new pilot phase, operated by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and co-financed by a consortium of research funding and performing organisations, along with the European Commission. As part of this new phase, OPERAS works in partnership with the ORE consortium to strengthen outreach and community engagement across Europe. OPERAS contributes its expertise in multilingual, inclusive, and community-driven scholarly communication to help ensure that eligible researchers and institutions are aware of and able to benefit from the platform.

The platform’s Publish–Review–Curate model, which enables rapid dissemination alongside transparent and open peer review, reflects a growing shift toward more rigorous and accountable publishing practices. OPERAS is committed to promoting these practices through training, communication, and community engagement activities that help researchers understand and adopt innovative publishing workflows.

Through its collaboration with CERN, the European Commission, and national funders, OPERAS aims to help ORE reach a broad and diverse author community, foster trust in open publishing, and contribute to a more resilient, non-commercial scholarly communication landscape in Europe and beyond.
