The upcoming session will focus on two main topics:Â Â

The Community calls are open to all OpenAIRE content provider managers and we welcome feedback from all users. |

The Future of European Repositories |
|

Discover the key findings from the 2024 community consultation |
|

A robust repository network is essential to safeguarding Europe’s research legacy and advancing scientific excellence. As Open Science continues to reshape research, repositories serve as critical knowledge infrastructures that ensure research outputs remain accessible, trustworthy, and reusable.Â
Recognising the strategic importance of repositories, OpenAIRE, COAR, LIBER, and SPARC Europe conducted a 2-stage community consultation in 2024. The results, named IMPACT-REPO Action Plan, reveal a strong consensus on the value of repositories in four key areas: impact, inclusiveness, trust, and innovation.
A call to action is presented for institutions to strengthen repositories for the future, recognising that repositories are not just infrastructure, they are strategic assets that accelerate knowledge sharing and enhance research impact.

Shaping the future of FAIR Metrics for repositories | Participate in EOSC-A Task Force's survey on reusability
|
|
|---|
Elli Papadopoulou (OpenAIRE), co-chair of the EOSC-A Task Force on FAIR Metrics and Digital Objects, will present the scope and activities of the Task Force, with a spotlight on the survey now rolling out to repository managers, during the next OpenAIRE Content Providers Community Call on April 2nd at 14h30 CEST. Â
The survey focuses on reusability, a key but often underrepresented aspect in assessing the FAIRness of repository outputs. We aim to identify what's currently missing to properly evaluate reusability and to collect community input that will help shape practical, meaningful FAIR assessment approaches. Â
Your feedback matters! Join the conversation and help us move toward actionable FAIR metrics for FAIR-aligned repositories!
