  • Training & Support

    There is a dedicated national open access portal. It provides information and news that relate to developments in OA in English and is targeted at the Belgian audience.

    DMPonline.be is an instance made available by the DMPBelgium Consortium, a result of cooperation between several Flemish andWalloon universities and scientific institutes. It provides data management plan templates for different funders as well as guidelines specific to the institution of the researcher.

    Training and Support is mainly taken up by the institutions themselves. The OpenAIRE NOAD for Belgium assists them in providing information on European funding and the possibilities of OpenAIRE services.
