National Action Plan for Open Research
Ireland’s National Action Plan for Open Research outlines objectives and actions for the next chapter in Ireland’s transition towards open research. The action plan serves as a roadmap for the implementation of open research across Ireland, outlining national goals and coordinated actions that will assist the research system as a whole to better support open research practices. The plan covers the period 2022-2030 and will be subject to periodic assessment and updates.
The process of developing the action plan was led by Ireland’s National Open Research Forum (NORF), a broad group that combines the expertise of representatives from policy, research funding organisations, research performing organisations, the library sector, research infrastructures, enterprise and other key stakeholders in the research system across Ireland.
Stakeholder organisations that have endorsed the National Action Plan are listed below. Further endorsements from national research stakeholder organisations are welcome by contacting norf@ria.ie
