The Open Access policy requires PIs to provide online access at no charge to peer-reviewed scientific publications and to research data. While FP7 projects were strongly recommended to provide open access, later projects are obliged to.

Open Access costs are eligible for EU funding. For more information please see the European Research Council web page and guidelines.

Requirements related to Research Data Management are embedded in each ERC grant agreement. The exact requirements depend on the ERC Work Programme under which each grant was funded. Read more about how to prepare Data Management Plan (DMP), deposit research data and other outputs, and when to make them available through open access, in the European Research Council web page.
