Three Voices from Europe’s Leading Researchers on Open Science
05/04/2026
One of the key benefits of open science:
“Being able to share your research and teaching with more researchers, for free around the world, rather than burying it in a 200 Dollar hardcover book.”
How do leading researchers view open science today? The ECHO magazine presents an exceptional interview with three international recipients of European Research Council (ERC) grants from different countries, disciplines and institutions
These experienced scientists share their practical perspectives on open access publishing, its benefits and limitations, and the role it plays in their scientific careers.
Their responses also highlight the broader significance of open access – as a tool for more equitable sharing of knowledge and global accessibility.
ECHO presents authentic insights from top researchers across Europe on the role open access plays in scientific publishing today.
The entire interview titled OPEN SCIENCE: A VIEW FROM ABROAD FROM EUROPEAN RESEARCH COUNCIL (ERC) GRANTEES is available as a standalone article from the ECHO issue, provided below as a PDF.
