Open Science
Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modeling, University of Warsaw (ICM) has been actively involved in Open Science for many years, with its activities in areas such as developing open infrastructure for dissemination of scholarly outputs, providing training and consultancy for researchers and research institutions, as well as promoting open science among Polish citizens.
Open science initiatives at ICM date from as far back as the end of the 20th century, with first deployments in the area of mathematics and natural sciences. Now ICM runs the Open Science Platform that is active not only in the area of open access to scientific articles in all disciplines, but also provides services for data sharing, organizing workshops and functions as the National Open Access Desk for Poland (OpenAIRE).
One of its main aims is to enhance access to academic resources and support researchers and academic institutions in implementing open science. In recent years ICM has been involved in projects that aimed at developing Polish open scientific resources and providing services to safeguard the availability of scientific publications and other research results.
The Library of Science
The Library of Science is an Open Access collection of articles published in Polish scientific journals and of scientific books. It provides full-text publications of journals and books, along with an interface for automatic imports and for uploads of new resources by journal editors and publishers. Thanks to the implementation of recognised technical standards, scientific publications made available on our platform are very well visible for search engines and are thus easily accessible to all interested readers. Currently, the Library of Science provides access to almost 425,00 full-text publications from over 1,500 scientific journals. The team has also collected almost 600 scientific books that successively will be made available on the same platform. The new version of the platform was launched in 2021 as part of the project „Platform of Polish Scientific Publications”.

Disciplinary Open Research Data Repositories
ICM operates three research data repositories that are open for everyone to use: a general-purpose repository and two domain-specific repositories:
Repositories were launched in 2020 as part of the project „Disciplinary Open Research Data Repositories”. The aim of the project was to enhance access to academic resources by making them available in open research data repositories, as well as to improve the quality of shared data and metadata and to facilitate their better use.
Open Science Training
The training initiative started in 2013 as part of a broad array of activities such as developing open science infrastructure, consulting activities, and promoting open science among the Polish scientific community. Currently, ICM offers training in two main areas: Open Access and Research Data Management. It provides guidance for the publishers, researchers, as well as scientific institutions.

Recent publications
“Transformative Agreements: Overview, Case Studies, and Legal Analysis”.
The aim of the report is to present the current situation regarding ‘transformative agreements’ understood as a means of transitioning from a subscription-based model of scientific publishing to full and immediate open access.
