Open science is an important principle of the MUNIS project. REP grantees should commit
to the principle of open access to the published output of research, including peer-reviewed articles
and monographs. The REP also supports the basic principle of open access to research data. MUNIS
considers that providing free online access to all these materials can be the most effective way of
ensuring that the products of its funded research can be accessed, read, and used as the basis for
further research and development.
40.
Beneficiaries of REP grants must ensure open access to all peer-reviewed scientific
publications relating to their results as set out in the Grant Agreement.
