From 2010 – 2013: Project on Open Data

2013: Project report: Open data – preparing the action plan to establish the system of open access to data from public financed researches in Slovenia

• VideoLectures.NETVideoLectures.NET is an award-winning free and open access educational video lectures repository.

• The lectures are given by distinguished scholars and scientists at the most important and prominent events like conferences, summer schools, workshops and science promotional events from many fields of Science.

• The portal is aimed at promoting science, exchanging ideas and fostering knowledge sharing by providing high quality didactic contents not only to the scientific community but also to the general public.

• All lectures, accompanying documents, information and links are systematically selected and classified through the editorial process taking into account also users' comments

Slovenian Digital Library

2015: Slovenia adopts national strategy for Open Access

• The strategy is fully aligned with the European Commission’s OA policy in Horizon 2020.

• Publicly funded research beneficiaries must ensure open access to all peer-reviewed scientific publications.

• The national strategy proposes that 80 percent of scientific publications resultant from publicly funded research and published in 2017 become open access by 2018,

• All publicly funded scientific publications, published in 2020, become openly accessible in 2021.

• A national pilot programme on open access to research data will be carried out and research data presented in research articles must also become openly available.

• Journal publishers based in Slovenia that receive national public funding for their activities should make their research articles openly accessible.
