The European Commission (EC) has launched a Pilot to support Gold Open Access publications for finalized FP7-funded projects through OpenAIRE. EC provided €4M to support Gold Open Access publications and the project will run until the funding is used up but for no longer than two years (until the end of April 2017).

EPFL researchers with a FP7 project finalized in 2013 are eligible for the post-grant!

Conditions for funding requests:

  • FP7 projects finished no longer than two years ago are eligible (if your project ended between January and June 2013, you are still eligible but please consider applying as soon as possible)
  • The publication must be accepted and peer-reviewed
  • When possible the publication has to be available under open content license (CC-BY licenses)
  • A maximum of three publications per project will be funded
  • Only publication in fully Open Access journals listed in standard directories (DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, or PubMed) will be entitled for funding. Publications in hybrid journals are not supported
  • Up to a maximum of €2,000 for research articles, book chapters and conference proceedings, and €6,000 for monographs
