...Policy Maker
Launches policy debates
Invites Member States to take action
Proposes EU legislation
...Funding Agency
e.g. Research & Innovation
Driving policies through funding
...Infrastructure Builder
Funds research infrastructures
Funds related research
Supports networking activities

Altmetrics & Co.
Measuring use & impact
For publications and data
More granular metrics
New Journals or no journals?
Evaluating Researchers
Measure more and better
Data publications, teaching etc. to count
New Models for Publishing
Baking OA in
Data publications

Citizen Science
Everybody influences research directions
Input to goal setting increases acceptance
Anchoring Science in Society: for the long term
Everybody collects data
We are sensors: Smartphone Science
We have many eyes: Crowdscience
We are a data source: Quantified Self
Everybody is a scientist
Commercial Big Data IS still science
Experiments as business models

Looking ahead
Infrastructures for ODS
Who will run data infrastructures?
Will there be a common approach in Europe?
Will https://rd-alliance.org/ deliver?
Altmetrics & Co
Is research into tools & methods enough?
How to anchor a movement?
Will the ERA help?
Citizen Science?
Link to “Big Politics”?
To push or to accompany?
What do Stakeholders think?

Pointers
The EC and open access
