This document presents an updated review of national Open Data and Open Science policies in Europe as of March 2021. As with previous updates, this report does not cover Open Access to publications policies but rather focuses on research data. It is important to note here that we considered national policies and also national laws, research plans and roadmaps, concordats and codes of research practice as part of this review.
We concentrated on the twenty-seven EU member states, but we also considered relevant countries from the European Research Area, namely Iceland, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the UK. In this update we focus specifically on presenting and analysing national policies. National Funder Policies are listed separately in Table 3.
