<b>FP7 post-grant Open Access publishing funds pilot webinar</b><br>
<br>
Join the OpenAIRE webinar to learn more about FP7 Post-Grant Open
Access Pilot.<br>
<br>
The European Commission has launched the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access
Pilot earlier this year, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.openaire.eu/postgrantoapilot">https://www.openaire.eu/postgrantoapilot</a>,
to fund Open Access publishing fees for publications arising from
finished FP7 projects through the OpenAIRE project. As well as for
Book Processing Charges, this Pilot provides funding for Open Access
Article Processing Charges (APCs) for FP7 projects up to two years
after they end. This FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot provides an
additional instrument to improve access to research results from FP7
projects, but does not affect authors' choice on how their project
publications are made Open Access.<br>
<br>
As of Sep 30th, 52 funding requests have already been granted by
this Pilot to researchers and projects across Europe and beyond (<a

href="https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=530"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=530">https://blogs.openaire.eu/?p=530</a></a>),
but there are still numerous countries where no funding requests
have arrived from so far.<br>
<br>
Learn about the pilot’s basic features, technical requirements,
early results and other criteria for funding requests.<br>
<br>
The webinar will be led by Pablo de Castro, from LIBER, the
coordinating institution for this FP7 Post-Grant OA Pilot, and will
have two parts. The first part will address the following topics:<br>
<ul>
<li>How the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot works;</li>
<li>How organizations can work with LIBER and OpenAIRE in order to
support the Pilot implementation;</li>
<li>How to use the central service at <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu/"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu/">https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu/</a></a>
for collecting and processing funding requests for Open Access
publishing fees developed by Athena Research Centre and the
University of Athens. This system collects the FP7 project
information and the publication metadata for every request
together with the information about the payments. Requests are
then approved or rejected according to the Pilot requirements.
Based on the information collected in the system, reports can be
produced on granted requests and payments by institution,
publisher, project, country or discipline. The service, which
requires previous registration, has been fitted with different
roles, such as researcher, moderator, institutional library,
publisher or project coordinator among others;</li>
<li>How to ensure that working procedures are appropriately
aligned across institutions in different countries;</li>
<li>How to team up with LIBER for dissemination purposes.</li>
</ul>
The second part of the webinar will be a Q&A session where any
questions about this FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot will be
answered.<br>
