The document discusses the EU's open access policies and the OpenAIRE project. The EU requires publications and data from publicly funded research to be made openly accessible. The OpenAIRE project aims to deliver an infrastructure to identify, deposit and provide access to publications from EU-funded projects. It links publications to research projects and provides a repository for "homeless" publications not housed elsewhere.
