Research assessment shapes careers, funding, and institutional priorities, yet many systems remain opaque and exclusive. Relying on proprietary, black-box metrics, they fail to capture the full diversity of research contributions and global scholarship. To change this, the CoARA Working Group ‘’Towards Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment’’ (OI4RRA) has developed a framework that outlines how Open Infrastructures (OIs) can support a fair, transparent, and responsible approach to research assessment. Dive into details!
On February 14, 2025, the ATHENA Research and Innovation Center welcomed Greece's Minister of Development, Mr. Takis Theodorikakos, to showcase cutting-edge projects and collaborations. Keep reading and learn all the details!

As Open Science continues to reshape research, repositories serve as critical knowledge infrastructures that ensure research outputs remain accessible, trustworthy, and reusable. Read the details!
In our latest Open Insights session, we dove into a topic at the heart of Open Science implementation: how to turn monitoring into a meaningful tool for institutions. The session focused on theusability and integration of the Irish Open Access Monitor within institutional workflows. With practical energy and a forward-thinking lens, the discussion unpacked real-world challenges and shared fresh perspectives on making monitoring not just a formality, but a driver of progress, strategy, and accountability in research ecosystems.
Our third Open Insights session, held on February 13, 2025, explored the role of institutional repositories in advancing Ireland’s goal of 100% Open Access. OpenAIRE’s Leonidas Pispiringas shared best practices for repository data integration into the OpenAIRE Graph, while Cillian Joy (University of Galway) highlighted collaborative efforts to enhance interoperability and metadata quality.
