As part of Open Access Week 2025, IZTECH Library, an OpenAIRE member, is hosting three online webinars, supported by the PATTERN project, which promotes Open and Responsible Research and Innovation (Open RRI) for researchers at all career stages.

This session is organised in collaboration with TÜBİTAK-ARDEB.

Who should attend:

Academics, researchers, postgraduate students, project managers, research support staff, and librarians

Programme:

• 14:00 – 15:00 | Open Access (OA) Policies & Key Components
• 15:00 – 15:30 | Compliance Strategies & Monitoring
• 15:30 – 16:00 | TÜBİTAK Case Study & Q&A

Learning outcomes:

As part of International Open Access Week 2025 and this year's theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”, OpenAIRE presents the Knowledge Commons Café: Who Owns the Knowledge?, a two-part series of open conversations on trust, AI, and the future of open knowledge.

This session examines the intersection of rights, value, and governance in the era of AI and Open Science.

Building on the discussions and insights from our session at OSFair 2025, this work draws on findings from the EOSC Beyond and LLMs4EU projects to present emerging frameworks for rights metadata, licensing, and the responsible use of research outputs in federated infrastructures.

Join us to discuss how the EOSC Rights Vocabulary and machine-readable licensing can support fairness, transparency, and innovation in the European research ecosystem.

Who should join:

This webinar is intended for researchers, data stewards, repository managers, infrastructure providers, policy makers, funders, and legal or ethics experts engaged in the technical, legal, and governance aspects of Open Science and AI.

Paolo Manghi (OpenAIRE) will present this tutorial webinar regarding enhancing FAIRness of research software using the OpenAIRE Graph.

This presentation explores how the OpenAIRE Graph supports the implementation of FAIR principles in research software.

As an open source Scholarly Knowledge Graph aggregating metadata from over 150k trusted sources the Graph contains over 300 million interconnected records with 2 billion links, including more than 800k software products that continue to grow rapidly.

We will examine how the OpenAIRE Graph operationalizes FAIRness, exploring both the challenges and opportunities in managing software research outputs, with the goal of helping researchers and Research Software Engineers enhance the visibility, recognition, and impact of their software within the scientific ecosystem.
