National fund for open science
The National Fund for Open Science is the financial element of the National Plan for Open Science. Its purpose is to bring a financial support for projects and initiatives leaning towards the development of open science. The general design is to develop an environment for science to be cumulative, supported by data, transparent, efficient and globally accessible. Government grants and contributions from institutes of higher education, research and innovation are the main types of supply for the National Fund for Open Science. It can also receive contributions from associations and foundations.
Our missions

Governance
The SIG FNSO bears the National Fund for Open Science.
It was founded by the convention of July 12<sup>th</sup> 2019, for a renewable mandate of 5 years.
The partners agreed on a flexible, transparent and collaborative structure, calling upon the will of each and every one to contribute to the creation of a sustainable environment for Open Science.
The Steering Committee for Open Science makes up the SIG FNSO’s partners’ council. In this respect, the Steering Committee decides on the grouping’s policy and rules on projects and initiatives that the Fund supports.
