Discover the European Open Science Resources Registry

Open Science doesn't happen by accident. It is shaped by the policies, strategies, and practical guidance that countries, institutions, and communities put in place, often scattered across national portals, ministry websites, and project repositories. Finding the right document at the right moment can be surprisingly hard. The European Open Science Resources Registry, part of the EOSC Open Science Observatory, is built to change that.

A curated, AI-enhanced collection

The Registry brings together a curated collection of key resources supporting Open Science across Europe , such as national policies, strategies, best practices, templates, and impact stories. Each entry includes detailed metadata and, where available, access to the full text, so you can move quickly from discovery to deeper reading.

Filters by country, date, topic, and document type make it straightforward to locate what matters for your context, whether you are drafting an institutional policy, benchmarking national approaches, or simply mapping the landscape.

More than a list

Policies and strategies are foundational to a collaborative, transparent, and accessible research environment, but a list of links is rarely enough. The Registry goes further, surfacing structured information on each document: responsible organisations, tags, summaries, and connections to related resources. This added context helps users understand a policy's scope, implementation, and impact, not just its title.

Behind the scenes, every resource moves through a transparent workflow. The current main data source is the Survey on National Contributions to EOSC and Open Science, complemented by additional policy resources. Documents are ingested, pre-processed (including text segmentation and automatic translation where needed), and enriched with AI-powered tagging, summarisation, and metadata extraction. Crucially, human review and approval sit at the heart of the process - AI accelerates the work, but curators ensure quality and relevance before anything is published.

Looking ahead, the Registry plans to expand its sources to include initiatives such as the OECD STIP Compass and selected national platforms, and to allow the community to flag missing documents directly through the system.
