We are thrilled to announce that @iweijden and @AndreaRE_altibel will be leading the national coordination project on #Recognition & #Rewards in open science!

Thanks to the €1.2 million awarded grant from @OpenScienceNL, 23 national institutions will now be able to structurally embed #OpenScience principles into the recruitment and promotion of their staff. This is a huge step toward advancing open science!

Open Science NL has awarded €15 million to strengthen the Digital Competence Centers (DCCs). This funding focuses on training in research software and improving data interoperability.

Local DCCs will receive funding for software trainers and community managers, while thematic DCCs will focus on metadata expertise and international collaboration. Finally, the Netherlands eScience Center will receive funding to build a national network of software trainers.

'Open access is of great importance, but we need to seriously consider how we want to achieve it and what costs we find acceptable,' said Arfan Ikram of NWO & ZonMw, commenting after the yearly #openaccess monitor was published. The monitor showed that in 2023, 94.6% of publications resulting from ZonMw and NWO funding were published open access, with an estimated total cost of 10.9 million euros. Like last year, the monitor is entirely based on open metadata. https://nwo.nl/en/news/nwo-and-zonmw-analyse-open-access-publishing-costs-in-2023-monitor

@crossref @martijn @epentz Hi Martijn, the team at NWO is also looking into this, we'll get back to you as soon as we have more insight.

@egonw hi Egon, de DOI's worden uitgegeven aan nieuwe projecten, niet met terugwerkende kracht.

All projects funded by NWO now receive a unique Grant ID. This persistent identifier by Crossref ensures that outputs—publications, data, software—are easily discoverable and linked, enhancing #OpenScience and #FAIRdata https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/nwo-funded-research-projects-get-unique-identifier-with-grant-id
