Overview
European Commission
In July 2021, the Icelandic Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2021 has been published, in line with the STPC’s policy and action plan for 2017-2019. Its intention is to focus on strengthening and establishing research infrastructures and working towards a culture that embraces open data and enables and strengthens participation by the Icelandic research community in European and international research cooperation. EOSC will be a feature in future policies.
Three of the seven universities in Iceland have policies on Open Access in place. Iceland takes part in four ESFRI/ERIC projects as well as in some EOSC projects such as EOSC Nordic. Iceland joined the LUMI consortium in 2020; the University of Iceland is assigned the role of the responsible organisation.

Policies
Open access (OA) of science publications entails that published articles are available electronically on the Internet, free of charge to users and with minimal restrictions on use. There are two main types of open access publishing. The authors publish their articles either directly in open-access online journals or they deposit a post-print version of the articles in an open-access archive. From January 2013 RannÃs requires that scientific publications based on projects funded, entirely or partially by RannÃs are published in open access unless otherwise agreed upon.
