{UAH} Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data in Horizon 2020

Modern research builds on extensive scientific dialogue and advances by improving earlier work. Moreover, the Europe 2020 strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy underlines the central role of knowledge and innovation in generating growth. Fuller and wider access to scientific publications and data therefore help to:

• build on previous research results (improved quality of results); 
• foster collaboration and avoid duplication of effort (greater efficiency); 
• accelerate innovation (faster to market = faster growth); 
• involve citizens and society (improved transparency of the scientific process).

For these reasons, the European Union (EU) strives to improve access to scientific information and to boost the benefits of public investment in the research funded under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 (2014-2020).
