This article addresses the opportunities and challenges faced by this FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot and discusses early project findings six months into this two-year initiative. This new and wide-scoped funding initiative arrives at a timely moment when a number of Gold Open Access funds are already in place at institutions in different European countries, which offers opportunities for promoting a gradual technical alignment of Article Processing Charges (APC) management practices. At the same time, there are rather large differences across Europe in the attitudes and researcher culture towards this emerging Gold Open Access business model which will need to be addressed within a swiftly evolving publishing landscape.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/isu-150786","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,19]],"date-time":"2016-04-19T12:24:33Z","timestamp":1461068673000},"page":"235-241","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The OpenAIRE2020 FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot: Implementing a European-wide funding initiative for Open Access publishing costs"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Pablo","family":"De Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stichting LIBER, The Hague, The Netherlands"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"100th granted funding request from the EC FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot OpenAIRE Newsletter available at: https:\/\/www.openaire.eu\/100th-granted-funding-request-from-the-ec-fp7-post-grant-open-access-pilot (retrieved Nov. 16 2015).","key":"e_1_3_1_2_2"},{"unstructured":"EC FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot homepage available at: https:\/\/www.openaire.eu\/postgrantoapilot.","key":"e_1_3_1_3_2"},{"unstructured":"European Commission Guidelines on Open Access to scientific publications and research data in Horizon 2020 (Dec. 2013) available at: https:\/\/www.openaire.eu\/guidelines-on-open-access-to-scientific-publications-and-research-data-in-horizon-2020 (retrieved Feb. 28 2015).
