The Swedish Research Council participates in collaboration on the publishing platform Open Research Europe (ORE)
Ten European research funding and performing organisations in Europe are uniting to fund the publication platform Open Research Europe (ORE), among them the Swedish Research Council, Formas, and Forte. The collaboration means that researchers in the participating countries will be able to use the platform, without any requirement for funding from the EU.
Open Research Europe (ORE) is today a free-of-charge publication platform offering peer review of scientific publications for researchers with funding from the European Commission. In december, ten research funding bodies in eight countries signed a statement of intent to jointly fund the platform in order to open it up to more researchers.
The statement of intent means that ORE will be possible to use by researchers in the eight participating countries, without any requirement for participation in an EU programme. This will benefit the whole research community, and contribute to the development of more open science.
The organisations have agreed to fund the platform for 5 years as an initial step, starting in 2026. The European Commission will continue as the main funding provider.
From Sweden, the Swedish Research Council, Formas, and Forte have signed the statement of intent. The other organisations are:
- Austrian Science Fund, FWF
- French National Research Agency, ANR
- German Research Foundation, DFG
- Research Council of Norway, RCN
- Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, FCT
- Slovenian Research Agency, ARIS
- Spanish National Research Council, CSIC

Open Research Europe (ORE) is an open publication platform without any author or reader fees
The platform’s publication and review processes are entirely transparent. All articles receive a unique DOI, and are indexed in databases such as Scopus and PubMed. The service is provided by F1000 Research (Taylor & Francis), but as from 2026 it will be available on the open source Open Journals Systems (OJS), under new management.
