This report offers guidance on the operating and financing model(s) to establish Open Research Europe (ORE), the European Commission’s open access publishing platform, as a collective non-profit publishing service from 2026. It identifies considers a range of internal and external factors influencing likely growth in published outputs and operating costs of ORE between 2026-2030 and proposes an operational model for the service. It puts forward a central planning scenario based on the publication of 6,600 articles over five years, supported by €17.6 million of funding. Steady rather than exponential growth is preferable for ORE, allowing quality to be maintained and financial support to be marshalled over time as the platform gains acceptance within the author community.
