Agenda Open Research Information

Save the date! AI offers a lot for research information work (data enhancing, reporting, dashboarding, etc.), but privacy, security frameworks, and limited organizational agility often slow adoption down. This session isn't about debating whether AI is useful, but about arriving at shared working methods and a practical workflow for when and how to use it : covering everyday use of Claude and local LLMs, MCP servers as a way to connect AI to institutional tools, a demo of the SURF AI Hub, ORI DataLake Chatbot, and a hands-on discussion where we route real cases through a draft decision tree built around data sensitivity, scale, reproducibility, and auditability.

Save the date! The international conference on persistent identifiers PIDfest 2026 will be hosted by SURF from 27 to 29 October in Leiden.
