In 2018, OpenAIRE established a legal entity called OpenAIRE A.M.K.Ε. to ensure a permanent presence and structure for a European-wide national policy and open scholarly communication infrastructure.


OpenAIRE is a Non-Profit Partnership (NPP) incorporated under the provisions of Greek Law (articles 741 onwards of the Greek Civil Code) and Law No 4072/2012 (established in Sept 2018).
