Open Research Europe

Open Research Europe (ORE) is an open access publishing platform established in 2021 by the European Commission to support researchers funded by the European Commission. The platform provides a venue for publishing research outputs in an open, transparent manner with open peer review. It aims to accelerate scientific communication and ensure publicly funded research is freely accessible, at no cost for readers or authors.

In 2026, CERN was selected to host the platform technically and operationally. The funding model changed to become a collective effort supported by 16 national funders and research institutions across Europe, alongside continued European Commission involvement. ORE will operate under a collective governance structure in which the Funders' Group oversees the operation of ORE as the publishing service, supported by an Executive Committee and a Scientific Advisory Board.
