CONNECT: Engage with your community

OpenAIRE CONNECT (https://connect.openaire.eu/) is a service that enables research communities to build on-demand, personalised Research Community Gateways to support researcher's needs at sharing, publishing and discovering research according to the Open Science practices.

Research Community Gateways foster transparent evaluation of results and facilitate reproducibility of science for research communities by enabling a scientific communication ecosystem supporting exchange of research products (publications, data, software, methods) and links between them across communities and across content providers.

 A Virtual Research Environment

An overlay platform making it easy to share, link, disseminate and monitor all publications, data, software, methods of a research community in one place.

 Open Science in action

A time-saving bundle of services for researchers to effortlessly practice Open Science. An integral part of the European Open Science Cloud.

OpenAIRE CONNECT Webinar: OpenAIRE Connect Service: empowering Research Communities

This webinar presents the OpenAIRE CONNECT service and how it supports community building, strengthening and empowering. With OpenAIRE CONNECT, communities get a configurable gateway that supports the implementation and tracking of the uptake of Open Science principles.

The experience of the H2020 project "Enermaps" is also presented to showcase how the gateway is helping to address the challenges of Open Science in the domain of Energy Research.
