OPERAS-PLUS

The OPERAS-PLUS project is directly linked to the OPERAS infrastructure (Open Scholarly Communication in the European Research Area for Social Sciences and Humanities), the European research infrastructure for supporting and promoting Open Science and improving academic communication in the Humanities and Social Sciences (ACP). In 2021 the OPERAS infrastructure was selected as a new infrastructure for the ESFRI roadmap, due to its scientific excellence and strategic importance for the European Research Area (ERA) and for the creation of a European research infrastructure ecosystem. The aim of the OPERAS-PLUS project is to support this process and the development of the infrastructure in its preparatory phase and on the way to its implementation.
