Open Science · Knowledge without walls

Knowledge
without walls.

An institutional commitment, not a policy.

Research that stays locked away serves no one. EUBA was built on the belief that knowledge — especially knowledge produced through AI simulation at unprecedented speed — belongs to the world.

EUBA Open Science Declaration

"We produce knowledge to advance the world. When we keep it open, the world advances faster."

This is not a compliance statement. It is the reason EUBA exists as an independent institution — free to share what it discovers, without constraint.

Why open science

Science that cannot be seen
cannot be built upon.

Every discovery that remains unpublished is a foundation that no one can build on. Every simulation result locked behind an institutional wall is a problem that someone else will spend years solving again.

EUBA's AI-native research model produces knowledge at a speed the world has not seen in academic institutions. That speed creates a responsibility: to share, to publish, and to make the outputs of this research engine available to those who can use them.

Open science at EUBA is not an act of generosity. It is an act of institutional logic — and the natural consequence of believing that knowledge is not a competitive advantage. The application of knowledge is.

Two research channels

One institution. Two commitments.

EUBA maintains two distinct research channels — each with its own publication principles, clearly separated and transparently recorded.

Independent research

Open by default

Research initiated by EUBA's own Research Architects — without external sponsorship — is published openly and immediately. No embargo. No restriction. Available to anyone, anywhere.

Access Full open access, immediate
Attribution Euro-Balkan University
Formats Preprint · Peer-reviewed · Dynamic publication
Licence Creative Commons CC BY 4.0

Sponsor's choice

Research conducted in partnership with an external organisation is published according to the sponsor's preference — openly, or for the sponsor's exclusive use. Both options are fully supported. Both are recorded.

Access Open or private — sponsor decides
Attribution Sponsor clearly stated in all outputs
Embargo Available for patent protection periods
Record Included in annual transparency report
Annual transparency report

A public record of
what we produce.

Each year, EUBA publishes an aggregate summary of research output across both channels. No partner names. No research details. Simply the institution's collective record — how much was produced, and how much was shared.

Publication formats

How EUBA
shares its research.

Research does not end at discovery. It begins there. EUBA publishes across multiple formats to ensure findings reach the audiences who can use them — researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public.

01
Preprint
Findings are published immediately on open preprint servers — before peer review. Speed over gatekeeping. The research community engages from day one.
02
Peer-reviewed publication
Landmark findings are submitted to high-impact journals with open access options. Rigour and reach, without compromise.
03
Dynamic publication
Living research documents that update as findings evolve. Not a static PDF — a continuously validated record of what we know and how it changes.
04
Policy brief
For research with direct implications for governance and public policy — translated into accessible, decision-ready language for institutional audiences.
05
Open dataset
Where research generates reusable data, EUBA publishes the underlying datasets under open licence — enabling independent replication and further discovery.
06
Research digest
Plain-language summaries of completed research — for the public, for the press, and for anyone who should understand what science has found, without needing to read the full paper.
Global alignment

Part of a global open science movement.

EUBA's open science commitment is aligned with the world's leading frameworks for open, transparent, and accessible research.

UNESCO Recommendation
on Open Science (2021) — the global standard for open scientific knowledge and infrastructure.
Plan S
Coalition S principles for immediate open access to peer-reviewed publications funded by public and private research funders.
Berlin Declaration
on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities — a foundational open access commitment adopted by leading research institutions worldwide.
FAIR Data Principles
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable — the international standard for research data management and sharing.
