OpenAIRE

Overview

OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe) is the EU’s primary open science and open access infrastructure, operating since 2009 and now as the OpenAIRE AMKE, a consortium of 50+ research organisations, funders, and infrastructure providers across Europe. OpenAIRE aggregates open access publications, research data, and software from repositories worldwide, operates Zenodo as the flagship open research repository, monitors Horizon Europe open access compliance, and provides technical services connecting research outputs to ORCID identifiers, funding information, and persistent identifiers.

Key Services

OpenAIRE Graph

The OpenAIRE Research Graph (https://graph.openaire.eu) is a massive open knowledge graph. As of 2025, it covers approximately 217 million publications, 98 million research data objects, and 896K software items from 162K data sources, all linked to funding information, ORCID identifiers, and organisations. It is fully open and downloadable under a CC0 licence.

The Graph powers literature search (https://explore.openaire.eu), open access monitoring, and impact tracking. It harvests metadata from HAL, Recherche Data Gouv, EGA, OpenNeuro, and hundreds of other repositories via OAI-PMH, SWORD, and REST APIs.

Zenodo

Zenodo (https://zenodo.org) is operated by OpenAIRE and CERN as the general-purpose open research repository. It accepts any research output (datasets, code, publications, presentations), assigns DOIs, and is the recommended deposit destination for EU-funded projects that lack a domain-specific repository.

Monitor

The OpenAIRE Monitor (https://monitor.openaire.eu) provides open science monitoring dashboards for institutional open access rates, funder compliance (Horizon Europe), and country and repository-level statistics.

Amnesia

Amnesia (https://amnesia.openaire.eu) is OpenAIRE’s anonymisation tool for research datasets, designed to help researchers share sensitive data by applying k-anonymisation and other privacy-preserving transformations. It is directly relevant to health and genomics data sharing under EHDS and GDPR.

Scholix

OpenAIRE co-developed Scholix (Scholarly Link Exchange), the framework for linking publications to their underlying datasets, enabling research data citation and tracking across publishers and repositories.

Horizon Europe Compliance

All Horizon Europe projects are required to make publications immediately open access and deposit datasets in an EOSC-compatible repository. OpenAIRE’s monitoring infrastructure verifies compliance.
