The aim of EOS is to further the opening up of scholarship and research that we are now seeing through the growing open access, open data, open education, open science and open innovation movements. These, and other, 'open' approaches to scholarship are changing the way research and learning are done and there are profound implications for universities and research institutions. EOS has been established to help guide developments and to assist others in understanding the issues and their implications.

EnablngOpenScholarship provides the higher education and research sectors around the world with information on developments and with advice and guidance on implementing policies and processes that encourage the opening up of scholarship. It also provides a forum for discussion and debate amongst its
members and will be taking that discussion into the wider community.

Who is EOS for?
EOS membership is for senior institutional managers who have an interest in, and wish to help develop
thinking on, strategies for promoting open scholarship to the academy as a whole and to society at large.
The EOS website is a resource open to all. It provides background information, data and guidance material on open scholarship-related issues. There is an area of the site that is accessible to members only where members can find announcements, news and discussions.
