Abstract

This is the annual survey on National Contributions to EOSC and Open Science 2024 for the EOSC Steering Board The annual survey on National Contributions to EOSC and Open Science was developed by the EOSC Future project and EOSC Steering Board to monitor policies, practices, and impacts related to EOSC and Open Science at national and institutional levels in Europe The annual survey for 2024 was published in the EOSC Open Science Observatory on 21 February 2025 and ran until 29 August 2025 whereby 31 European member states, associated countries, and other countries responded to the survey The data of the annual survey for 2024 is available and exploitable in the online dashboard of the EOSC Open Science Observatory developed by Technopolis Group and OpenAIRE in the EOSC Future project and continued in the EOSC Track project: https://www.eoscobservatory.eu Disclaimer: The annual survey on National Contributions to EOSC and Open Science is in an initial stage of implementation and will be improved in future iterations whereby the data should for now be taken as a best-effort attempt by participating countries
