WP3 - Policy
- Deliverable D3.1 (Policy Landscape Review) was completed during w/c 8 Jan and has been submitted to the EC.
- Work is continuing towards Deliverable D3.2 (Specifications for an Open Science Monitor, due end of February) moving from the recommendations in D3.1 to identifying high-level goals (policy aspects) the OSM should monitor, for use as a base for mapping to metrics; and identifying relevant metrics and mapping them to OS resources (i.e. research artefacts, open educational resources, processes enhancing open collaboration, etc); definitions of the OS Monitor, Policy Registry and Toolkit have been developed in collaboration with WP5 for the needs of D5.1 (The European Open Science Cloud Architecture: Anatomy and Physiology, to be submitted soon).
- A plan for the work to produce Deliverable D3.3 (Draft Policy Recommendations, due end of April) has been produced and discussed. Building on the work of D3.1, a draft shortlist of priority policy issues is in the process of being identified within Task 3.1 for validation in interviews with Policy Experts in the coming weeks.
- Work has also begun to define and scope the Open Science Registry and Toolkit, Deliverables for which are due later this year.
