The importance of making results accessible and reusable beyond the project lifetime

Laura Carrera Carballes, Caroline Sage and Paul Peeters Posted 19 October 2020
Over the past months it has become undoubtedly clear that the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced every aspect of our lives. The way we do science has been no exception, with an increased importance of collaboration for more streamlined and accelerated access to results. In this regard, the European Commission has recently published a manifesto1 endorsing three principles to follow when dealing with research results resulting from EU-funded grants:
  1. Make the results public and accessible
  2. Make scientific papers and research data available open access and following the FAIR principles2
  3. Where possible, grant for a limited time non-exclusive royalty free licenses on the intellectual property

These three principles fully rely on the value of accessing and maintaining project results after the project ends. But how realistic is this? Maintaining project results maximally accessible and reusable often requires additional funding, a resourced infrastructure as well as the correct legal and asset management expertise to set it up.
