Eawag supports these and makes a growing part of its research data, including descriptions, images and even software, available publicly and free of charge on the Eawag platform ERIC or, in special cases, on discipline-specific, international databases. ERIC complements the long-standing platform DORA for scientific publications. The aim of Open Science is to make scientific results and findings accessible worldwide. Both research data (Open Research Data) and scientific publications (Open Access) should be made available and free of charge via digital platforms. In this way, science aims to promote the reuse of its data and strengthen cooperation within the research community and with players from administration and industry, for example, across disciplines and national borders. Other important goals of Open Science are transparency and reproducibility of scientific research.
