Hormia-Poutanen is the president of the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER), and represents the organisation in the new group. She says that “LIBER is the most important network of research libraries in Europe. I am happy that the role of libraries in promoting open science is being so prominently recognised at the European Commission. I accept this new position with great interest and I look forward to cooperating with experts from different fields.”

Carlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, appointed a total of 25 representatives to the Policy Platform.
