I'll speak in English, my Ukrainian is not that well, but I just wanted to share some insights into what we've been doing supporting the Ukrainian Open Science and what could be done, so some lessons learned from other projects or perspectives.

So starting with short-term goals, from the brink of the invasion there were many initiatives forming from scholars to support the black scholars in Ukraine, like Suho,

Science for Ukraine, some others listed here, but I would like to talk in more depth about Su as today. It was already mentioned by Irina Kuchba and Suzanne de Muchel earlier on. It was an initiative we started together with a group of colleagues from France and from

international infrastructures, basically looking at the situation in which the Ukrainian researchers received some support from different institutions and universities, however they were still lacking the directed support for editorial stuff, so we basically formed this kind of

coalition for supporting Ukrainian editorial stuff, and you see the institutions involved there like OPRAS, IFOC, my institutions, Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academic Sciences, DOAB, DOAJ, or OAPEN, so these were the main players.

So what we did from the onset was to start with scoping the needs of the editorial stuff, so we started with a small survey. We received around 150 responses, mostly from journals,

but some also from editors, and basing on this we drafted basically what the needs are currently, how can we help, so first of all of course it was the financial support issues of how we can help in this again in the short term period, so how we can support

the journals, so they kind of keep on going despite everything. Another thing was training, so basically the questions about how we can provide some competencies and an instruction to journal editors who may wish to, for instance, internationalize their journals

or the open access, etc., and the questions for mentoring, so one-on-one support. So eventually we started to move with those issues, so first of all we started the crowdfunding campaign

to support journals with small scholarships, and the good news was that it exceeded our expectations a lot because we managed to award 40 small scholarships. The downside is that as a volunteer organization

we still struggle with processing all the claims, but I hope that soon in the upcoming week we should finalize all the journals we received the support from us, and basically it's based on the small grants, so we just ask the journal to provide the description of the work they want to do, and we support them

to achieve this goal. Secondly, the teaching or mentoring activities, we launched the summer school with some tutorials on what basically was asked from us by the journal editors, so indexing journals

in the directory of open access journals, copyright and licensing issues, best practices in journal publishing, and finally we did a learning session with publishers about which I will just read it.

However, all the recordings are available on the Suez website, and especially the first workshops were held in Ukrainian by Irinai Putzma, so you can still check them out and they provide a really nice overview

of those issues. But moving to the final workshop we had, publishing scholarly journals, through this session we also tried to deepen the understanding of the needs of our future actions, and also currently Suez

is trying to launch the targeted support for publishers. It's still under development, but check out our website

and stay tuned. So, basing on those experiences and the other experiences we had with infrastructures, I just wanted to briefly address the main issues of this conference, just moving from the short-term immediate support

to long-term support, long-term gains when we're building the open access environment, and most of the stuff I'm happy with, most of the stuff I'm going to talk about was already kind of covered by different presenters because basically what we want to achieve here is to think already when building this open access environment

to think ahead of how we have to structure, what should we take into consideration, and I will be basically dwelling on my experience from those two papers, I will send you the links in the second, these are the ones we developed building the OPRAS research infrastructure presented already today by Suzanne Dimusche.

Let me go with five main pillars for open access for the ending of my talk. So first of all the interoperability and there was so much said today about it that I would just basically reiterate the importance of that

if we use standards, definitely the content we produce, we post, we make available could be discovered, could be aggregated and could be interoperable. And why is that important? Then the second pillar, the second I is infrastructure is that through this we can make our resources visible on different stages. In the opening remarks we heard today

that we wish, or the ministry wishes also the Ukrainian content to be present in EOS and actually it's already there because of this fact of this kind of aggregating. So for instance if you see this kind of pyramid here

so the content from for instance the journals already indexed in DOAJ on the slower level are then re-indexed by GoTriple which is kind of a gateway to EOS and I can show you how it works in practice.

So this is the GoTriple platform, GoTriple for open science for research materials in SSH. I just typed in Ukraine just to get some results but you can see that we already ingested many journals, many materials in Ukrainian and they are already visible there to be discovered by a researcher. This is a multilingual platform.

So this is again reiterating the importance of having the interoperability and having the infrastructure which is connected to those higher level infrastructure. Thirdly, interdisciplinarity.

So again we go in with the third I which is interdisciplinarity and here it was already also mentioned today the agreement on reforming research assessment. The research assessment is changing. We need to be really aware that not only journals or monographs is something that counts, of course they count

but also other types of outputs like data, like innovative outputs. Here I just showed you the screenshot from Journal for Digital History, a really interdisciplinary enterprise which links text and data and visual materials.

So we need to be open to think also about those kind of outputs which are important for particular disciplines or in particular disciplines. So nevertheless whenever we speak about the openness we need to take the disciplinary needs into account. Thirdly, and this is insider leadership I call it but it's basically scholarly led. I just needed the fourth I so that's why it's insider.

What we really need for infrastructures is to be led by scholars. So these are the roots of scholarly communications as you see here. The Greek philosopher is debating but basically the idea here is that the scholars need to keep or retain control over the infrastructure,

how the infrastructure is built because in the end the infrastructure has to respond to researchers' needs. So this is really important that scholars lead those efforts as it's done for instance through such infrastructures like Oprah's.

And finally, inclusiveness. So when we think about the open access, we think about the open access system, we need to think about it as a kind of through a systemic approach, as a connection, interconnected network of different actors.

So when we want to build a strategy, we need to consult all the stakeholders, we need to bring them together to achieve the better action. This is really important and that's why the ministry is important. It's really important to work on different levels here.

So I will just finish with this. This is a quick overview of those long-term goals and gains. I'll share in a minute the reports I mentioned for those of you who are interested.

And finally, the final word, and for those of you who would be interested in cooperating with Suez or those initiatives I mentioned, as we may have some need for support from Ukrainian colleagues, please do get in touch with me.

I'll be very happy to join forces in the future endeavors. So thank you very much for that.
