If you are interested in open science monitoring and research discovery for consortia with multiple universities, the two following webinars might be interesting for you.
Welcome to the inaugural event for the Open Research Information (ORI) program plan—a pivotal moment for advancing digital sovereignty and regaining control of our research information. This kickoff event marks the beginning of a transformative journey, guided by the principles outlined in the Barcelona Declaration and the detailed roadmap provided by the ORI program plan.

OpenAIRE introduces a BeginnersKit, to get you started with advanced data analysis from the OpenAIRE Graph. Working with Open Research Information starts getting fun, when your get a bit familiar with it.
Open research information must be the new norm
The research information landscape requires fundamental change. The signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information commit to taking a lead in transforming the way research information is used and produced. Openness of information about the conduct and communication of research must be the new norm.

Ricgraph: A flexible and extensible graph to explore research in context from various systems
Abstract
Ricgraph, also known as Research in context graph, enables the exploration of researchers, teams, their results, collaborations, skills, projects, and the relations between these items.
Ricgraph can store many types of items into a single graph. These items can be obtained from various systems and from multiple organizations. Ricgraph facilitates reasoning about these items because it infers new relations between items, relations that are not present in any of the separate source systems. Ricgraph is flexible and extensible, and can be adapted to new application areas.
In this article, we illustrate how Ricgraph works by applying it to the application area research information.

About SoftwareX
SoftwareX (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/softwarex) is a biannual peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal covering scientific software. It aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today's research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact.
Op 16 april organiseerden we vanuit het project onderzoeksinformatie in het hbo een webinar om de plannen voor het komende jaar te presenteren en de community op de hoogte te brengen van de activiteiten en deliverables.
Geïnteresseerd in het meest "juicy" onderwerp binnen het onderzoeksdomein? Dan heb ik het uiteraard over metadata! Hier lees je meer over de aanpak van de metadata werkgroep voor praktijkgericht onderzoek.
In an era defined by the digital revolution, open research information and persistent identifiers (PIDs) have emerged as pivotal tools in advancing scientific discovery. These tools offer a pathway towards enhanced transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in the world of research.
The third Netherlands National Open Science Festival took place this year. It welcomes participants ranging from researchers to policymakers to peers working on enabling open science practices.
With over three million scientific publications per year, staying afloat in the ocean of scientific information is a struggle. In this article, we introduce Open Knowledge Maps (OKMaps), a visual discovery tool that improves the visibility and discoverability of scientific knowledge. We further discuss the system-of-systems approach of OKMaps, which allows for easy integration into existing scholarly infrastructure, and how this links to ongoing efforts in the Netherlands to create a national knowledge base for open research information.
