OpenAIRE is an EU initiative (currently a consortium funded by a series of EU funding: OpenAIRE, OpenAIREplus, OpenAIRE2020) aiming to support and implement open scholarship in Europe. It achieves this through a socio-technical approach: a human expert network of 33 National Open Access Desks supporting researchers, libraries, national centers, and funders at the local level into policy formulation and implementation; a diverse set of value added services which aim to enable and accelerate open scholarship within all layers of the scholarly communication e-Infrastructure ecosystem.
