**Project description**:
**Scientific context**:
Plant-based dairy and meat alternatives have grown in popularity in recent years for various reasons, including sustainability and health benefits, as well as lifestyle trends and dietary restrictions. However, plant-based food products can be nutritionally unbalanced, and their flavour profiles may limit their acceptance by consumers. Microorganisms have been used in making food products for millennia. However, the diversity of microbial communities driving plant-based fermentations, as well as their key genetic and phenotypic traits and potential synergies among community members, remain poorly characterised. Many data exist, but they are spread into different literature (scientific and grey) or, in the best case, in different databases. However, they are not always reusable because they are difficult to find and access and because databases are not systematically interoperable.

**Objectives**:
The research project aims at identifying and contributing to the definition of the Open Science legal framework. According to this project, an appropriate legal environment for Open Science shall ensure that the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed necessary’ (see, e.g. recital 8, Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe) applies at every stage of the research process.

The research project will be divided into two parts (legal theory and case studies):
The first part will study the legal aspects (mainly Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets; Personal and Non-Personal Data; Contract Law) related to:

- Data Access, with a focus on the most recent EU legal instruments, including but not limited to: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (GDPR); Regulation (EU) 2018/1807 on the free flow of non-personal data; Directive (EU) 2019/1024 on open data; Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe; Regulation (EU) 2022/868 on European Data Governance; Regulation Proposal on harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data (COM(2022) 68 final) ;
- Data Analysis, with a focus on the recent Text & Data Mining Exceptions: Art. 3 and 4 Directive (EU) 2019/790 on Copyright and Related Rights in the Digital Single Market;
- Research Results Exploitation, with a focus on open licensing practices.

The general assumption underlying the first part of the research is that the emerging legal framework for Data Access and Data Analysis moves apart from the proprietary model and is, therefore, sound for promoting Open Science. Conversely, it is assumed that the Research Results Exploitation still relies mainly on a proprietary model, overlooking the potential of open licensing strategies in various fields (‘more closed than necessary’).

The second part will study the practical implementation of this legal framework (completed with relevant national law provisions) in relation to case studies selected amongst the Individual Research Projects carried out in the frame of the FAIROmics Doctoral Network. The case studies will be selected according to their contribution to each stage of the research (as identified above) in different disciplines.

The general assumption underlying this second part of the research is that the emerging legal framework does benefit Open Science, but not to the fullest extent envisaged in theory for reasons of practical hurdles (‘not as open as possible’). The ancillary assumption lies in the preference given by universities (and their commercial partners) to the proprietary model. If verified, the validity of this model as to its contribution to Open Science will be tested through counterfactuals based on open licensing practices.

**Expected results**:
The expected result is the Ph.D. thesis on the Legal Aspects of Open Science. The thesis will be made accessible in Open Access.

Ancillary results will comprise scientific papers on selected topics in relation to the main topics, scientific communication in relation to the topic, dissemination of knowledge as to
