This panel at the annual conference of the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators (EARMA) explored the roles research managers and administrators (RMAs) have assumed in the Open Science space. We also considered the knowledge and skills RMAs bring to the Open Science space and discussedthe skills and support RMAs need to succeed in Open Science roles. The panel included 3 lightening talks by co-authors Daniel Spichtinger,NúriaBenítez Monforte, and Tadeu Fernando Nogueira. The lightening talks were interspersed by polls that engaged the audiencein the conference room (c. 100 RMAs). Following the lightening talks, we had an extended discussion and a Q&A session about the role of RMAs in the Open Science space. The main conclusions included that RMAs playa crucial role in coordinating Open Science implementation and practice and ensuring Open Science across the research project life cycle. RMAs often collaborate with other professionals in the Open Science space and act as translators/facilitators between the different stakeholders in the Open Science space. This record includes all materials produced by the panel, including the panel abstract, slides for the 3 lightening talks, and results of the 3 polls.&nbsp

Presentation given at the event 'Open Access: Authors, publishers, investors and institutions for the dissemination of the scientific research's results' that was organised by the Library of EPFL in the context of the Open Access Week 2013. Abstract: We will give an overview of the ERC's approach to Open Access, and how it is reflected in the rules governing the ERC grants under the current 7th EU Research Framework Programme. We will explain how the ERC supports its grantees in providing open access to their research results, and shed some light on the changes to be expected for the new EU Research Framework Programme, Horizon 2020, which will start on 1 January 2014. In doing so, we will also take a look at the different roles of the ERC and the European Commission concerning the promotion of Open Access, and explain some of the differences in approach.
