2022 Open Research Fund
On this page you will find details of the closed 2022 Open Research Fund call.
The 2022 Open Research Fund was provided through the Higher Education Authority to distribute to key initiatives in Ireland’s transition towards Open Research identified by Ireland’s National Open Research Forum. The 2022 Open Research Fund call was designed to implement six priority actions in Ireland’s National Action Plan for Open Research 2022-2030.
