On the eve of the closing of the European Consultation on Science 2.0, LIBER issued a statement both welcoming the Consultation as a step towards strengthening the competitiveness of European research, and calling on the European Commission to take measures towards enabling Open Science.
Commenting on the position statement, LIBER President, Kristiina Hormia-Poutanen called on all LIBER libraries to play their part in enabling Open Science.
LIBER as a foundation supports member organisations in their work by developing best practices in research data management together with the libraries. During the summer 2014, 11 case studies on research data management in libraries were published to share experiences. As part of LIBER's work to connect and represent research libraries, the organisation initiates and participates in strategic and innovative European projects. All of the projects relate in one way or other to the different aspects of Open Science.
Furthermore, LIBER can help to increase the visibility and quality of Open Science outputs through embedding in research process and by collaborating internationally and by participating in the development of international infrastructures.
