I totally agree with Sebastian. The call is sewn with a hot needle - as the Germans say. They have found money somewhere and now they want to spend it on something new - which I am very much in favour of because in this case it means non-APC-based. However, it might be very difficult to construct something suitable in a hurry. Nevertheless, perhaps in this round people are currently working on projects that fit the geometry of the call.
Best regards
Ulrich

and it looks very much that it is still centered on journals/articles.
In the beginning, they stress that they include books, but later on, in
the criteria for evaluation, it is all about articles.
I must say I do not fully understand this call. You get a maximum of
50k, which you have to spend in the first half of 2018, it must be some
kind of innovative model, and it must include output from existing
FP7/H2020 projects. I cannot make those elements fit. Setting up a new
revenue model will take longer than 6 months, and you cannot draft it in
4 weeks.
It seems to me that OpenAire found some funds they have to spend before
June, and they decided to spend it in this fashion.
