Breaking Down the OpenAIRE Graph: What and why?

Published on September 16, 2024
The OpenAIRE Graph is and has been instrumental in not only supplying OpenAIRE services with vital information, but also in shaping the Open Science landscape throughout Europe and beyond. However, navigating this vast knowledge graph and its implications can sometimes be challenging. Join us in these next few episodes where we break down the OpenAIRE Graph in a miniseries aimed at helping all actors in the research community better understand it and its uses. In this first episode, OpenAIRE CEO, Natalia Manola, gives us a concise overview of the Graph and the role it continues to play in EOSC.

OpenAIRE entity, services, and sustainability

The CEO of OpenAIRE, Natalia Manola, is invited to briefly present OpenAIRE, its history, and what it offers to the Open Science community. The evolvement of OpenAIRE from being a project to becoming a non-for-profit entity is discussed. Therefore, the conversation moves to the evolvement of the organisation OpenAIRE, its services, and sustainability. How does OpenAIRE approaches the challenge that all Open Science services providers, research infrastructures and organisations actively working on Open Science, face? How does OpenAIRE align with the EC guidelines on Open Science and the need to explore business models and revenues streams for its services. Is OpenAIRE going to charge everyone that will use its services? What are the first thoughts and steps taken towards a sustainable OpenAIRE? What is the role of the OpenAIRE network?

Lastly, what is EOSC and the position of OpenAIRE within EOSC. What are the EOSC Core services provided by OpenAIRE?

Successful Research Data Management: Integrating Technology and Human Expertise

Effective Research Data Management is the cornerstone of research not only for researchers but for funders and institutions as well. Due to national and European standards, development and delivery of a Data Management Plan (DMP) at the very start of a project or at times even before the project starts is essential (or even mandatory in some case, e.g., Horizon Europe funded projects) for all research input and outputIn this episode, our training experts Venkat and Jonathan provide insights on why DMPs are crucial steps in the research lifecycle while Elli, Argos’s service Manager, explains how OpenAIRE tools and services can support researchers and research support staff to write and deliver effective DMPs and how, ultimately, funders and research performing organisations can benefits from its adoption.
