The concept behind PathOS project is to identify and document the Open Science Impact Pathways, i.e., the possible paths that connect the input to output, outcome, and impact, including the causal mechanisms linking them and the existing enabling or blocking factors.

For this purpose, we will set up case studies focus groups (for each of the six case studies encompassing the project), an Open Science expert panel and several workshops and we are currently recruiting experts willing to contribute their knowledge and share their experiences.
