Project ID 549RER3002

This activity complements the implementation of the 2017 UNESCO Recommendation on Research and Scientific Researchers (RSSR), in particular its fourth key area related to science as a common good and the need to encourage Open Science. The Open and Universal Science (OPUS) project will enhance the capacity of UNESCO to advise European Member States for the monitoring and implementation of the RSSR. The project will develop coordination and support measures to reform the assessment of research and researchers at Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) towards a system that incentivises and rewards researchers to practise Open Science.
