  The objective of this handbook is to provide information and practical advice on the daily work of a National Contact Point (NCP) within the European Horizon 2020 (H2020) Programme. NCPs play a crucial role as providers of information and assistance to potential applicants for new research and innovation projects and beneficiaries in on-going projects. The handbook is not meant to be exhaustive in terms of duties and tasks that need to be performed by an NCP, but to provide an overview of the most common tasks and challenges in the work of an NCP; and facilitate communication as well as sharing of experiences and good practice with the network. It is then up to each NCP to pick and choose the elements that are relevant for their daily work. To facilitate the use of this booklet, the text is accompanied by a practical and user-friendly profile checklist.

  Good governance is essential to environmental protection. LIFE is the EU’s fund for the environment, nature and climate action. Many LIFE projects have had a strong governance component, ensuring compliance enforcement and avoiding environmental crime. Since 2014, that support has been strengthened through 75 dedicated governance and information projects. LIFE has invested some €74 million in these projects, which have mobilised more than €125 million in total. The programme has helped local, regional and national authorities to develop promote, monitor and enforce compliance with EU environmental legislation at all levels.

  Reuse policy
  A study on available reuse implementing instruments and licensing considerations

  Reuse of Public Sector Information (PSI) is an important driver for economic growth and creation of new information-based businesses in the knowledge economy. In recognition of this, the European Commission has established for itself an ambitious reuse policy, enshrined in the Commission Decision 2011/833/EU on the reuse of Commission documents (the Reuse Decision). The European Commission's reuse policy acknowledges that certain instruments are capable of contributing towards the overall effective implementation of the Reuse Decision. Instruments such as open licences fall within this purview and can serve in furthering the Institution's policy objectives. The purpose of this document is to assess a range of implementing instruments which could be used by the Commission within the context of its reuse policy. To this end, four main instruments have been selected for assessment. The first instrument is the Reuse Notice currently used by the Commission on most online and print media. The three other alternative instruments are the Creative Commons licensing suite, the Open Data Commons licensing suite, and a bespoke licence (i.e. a tailor-made open licence drafted and maintained by the Commission).

  The work on the JRC Data Policy followed the task identified in the JRC Management Plan 2014 to develop a dedicated data policy to complement the JRC Policy on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Supporting Guidance, and to promote open access to research data in the context of Horizon 2020. Important POLICY COMMITMENTS and the RELEVANT REGULATORY BASIS within the European Union and the European Commission include: the Commission Decision on the reuse of Commission documents, Commission communication on better access to scientific information, Commission communication on a reinforced European research area partnership for excellence and growth, Commission recommendation on access to and preservation of scientific information, and the EU implementation of the G8 Open Data Charter. The OBJECTIVES for adopting and implementing the JRC Data Policy include: - Share and use data on the basis of the Open Data principles: fully, freely, openly and timely; - Provide a coordinated approach to the acquisition of data by the JRC; - Facilitate management, broaden access and use of the JRC data, in line with FAIR Data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable); - Support EU implementation of the G8 Open Data Charter; - Continuously support evidence-based decision making and research; - Ensure that JRC data are made available through the EU Open Data Portal. For a successful implementation process, the JRC Data Policy lays down implementation principles with respect to responsible entities, overall implementation guidelines, and their individual elements like data management plans, as well as the monitoring of its implementation. This new version of the JRC Data Policy is the result of the first review (2018) of the initial Policy adopted in 2015.
