The document serves as the theoretical and methodological foundation for the forthcoming NEOLAiA Open Science Policy. Structured in twelve sections, the report provides a comprehensive overview of key concepts and best practices in open science and citizen science. It examines major global initiatives, existing policies among NEOLAiA partner universities and other European alliances, and defines the core pillars of the shared strategy.
The methodological approach developed by NEOLAiA aims to establish a collaborative and sustainable model that fosters open access to research outputs, transparency in scientific processes, and active citizen participation. This Deliverable marks the first concrete step towards a unified European policy on open science within the NEOLAiA Alliance.
