  8 External incentives forOpen Science The Dutch government and various funders have formulated Open Science goals, such as: • Government: “Open Science” and “Open access” will become the norm. • Ministry of Education: All teachers in higher education share and reuse open educational resources in 2025. • National Research Organization NWO: Research results paid for by public funds should be freely accessible worldwide. This applies to both scientific publications and other forms of scientific output. • European Research Council: Supports the principle of open access to the published output of research and promotes the basic principle of open access to research data.
• 9.
  9 Open Science Programme TUDelft wishes to: • comply with (inter)national policies and funding requirements; • anticipate future developments; • and therefore develop a Strategic Plan Open Science for the coming years. The goal is to embed Open Science throughout the university in all faculties and services.

  10 Open Science projectlines and cross-cutting themes Open Access Open Publishing Platform FAIR data FAIR Software Open Education Rewards & Recognition in the Open Era Fruitful Collaboration with Third Parties Skills for Open Science
• 11.
  12 Open Access • Thefocus of Open Access will be extended from peer-reviewed scientific articles to books, conference proceedings, book chapters, reports, reviews and educational resources. • The project supports this development by addressing both policy and infrastructure aspects that are crucial to the further development of Open Access practices.
• 12.
  13 Open Publishing Platform •Open Publishing provides the infrastructure and processes for creating open content. • Open publishing infrastructures use open source software wherever possible, thus reducing the intrinsic costs of the publishing process. • The project will deliver a publishing platform, as well as services that enable TU Delft researchers and teachers to adopt the open publishing principle.
• 13.
  14 FAIR data • FAIR= Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable • The project creates a stronger bridge between the current policy, infrastructure and culture of data stewardship and scientific practice in order to fulfill the researchers’ actual needs in managing their research data. • A coherent approach to FAIR data, which also takes into account the limits to open data, helps make research more transparent and efficient.
• 14.
  15 FAIR software • Researchsoftware is fundamental to contemporary research, particularly in the context of reproducibility. • Research software needs to be treated with the same diligence and accuracy as research publications and research data. • The project will be developing and facilitating various aspects of research software, including policy, infrastructure and organizational culture.
• 15.
  16 Cross-cutting themes Rewards & Recognitionin the Open Era To encourage the actual practice of OS principles, it is imperative that researchers and teachers are rewarded and recognized for their efforts Fruitful collaboration with third parties Skills for Open Science focuses on guidelines, policies and regulation that help to deal with any issues or opportunities that arise in (developing) collaborations with third parties, with regard to the outputs. Researchers, teachers, students and support staff will (further) develop certain skills in order to be able to apply the Open Science principles in their daily practices.
