Open Science

Open Science represents a cultural shift in how the scientific community works. Researchers are consciously and responsibly moving towards curating, storing and sharing publications, research data and, increasingly, educational resources so that they are accessible to all, unless legal, ethical, intellectual property or other clauses prevent it. This transparency increases the quality and efficiency of the research process by making research results verifiable and thus more reliable and is essential in driving knowledge forward and promoting innovation. The benefits of researchers opening up their work are also welcomed by decision- and policy-makers, funding bodies and society at large.

ETH researchers have various options for opening up and sharing their data and publications. This webpage is designed to navigate the services and infrastructures available at ETH Zurich. It also provides links to specific funding programmes in relation to open science.
