    And make them collaborators of the service

We

  • We ingest your project metadata and mine the OpenAIRE Research Graph

    Step 1a

    We infer links to research results: publications, datasets, software, etc.

  • We present the results to you on our Beta portal

    Step 2a

    We refine until you are happy with the results. We allocate the hardware resources needed to create your dashboard.

  • We produce well-documented visualisations of simple & more advanced composite indicators

    Step 3a

    Aligned with the Open Science principles and following an evidence-based approach, and based on the institution’s research activities.

OpenAIRE participates in the International Open Access Week

Open for Climate Justice

24 - 30 October 2022

Check the detailed programme as well the recordings and presentations

As per tradition, OpenAIRE will actively contribute to the International Open Access Week 2022 initiatives with interactive sessions and thought-provoking panel discussions connected to the theme of this year “Open for Climate Justice”.

Mary Robinson, former UN high commissioner for human rights

Climate change is probably the greatest human rights challenge of the 21st century.

But what does climate justice mean and how “open” can be a facilitator for climate justice? We have prepared two series of webinars that will showcase the different ways in which we can all work together and make Open Science a means to tackle the challenges ahead of us.

  • OpenAIRE services and Climate Justice

    Series 1

    Join us in series of webinars and find out how our services can contribute to Climate Justice. We will showcase examples of  how the power of collaboration can advocate for openness and inclusion in research related to climate change, to research that matters for our lives.

  • Open Science impact in policy making for climate change

    Series 2

    We have joined forces with key organisations and projects, NEANIASEGIC-SCALE, INTELCOMP and DECIDO. This series will showcase how Open Science infrastructure and practice support evidence-based policy making related to climate.  

Check the detailed programme below!

All sessions will be virtual, free and open to all.

Monday 24

11:00 – 12:15 CEST

The OpenAIRE Research Graph, supporting evidence based R&I indicators

The OpenAIRE Research Graph (ORG) is an Open Access dataset including metadata about different entities that are part of the research lifecycle, such as publications, dataset, software, RPOs, grants, with links among them. This session will highlight how the information in the ORG can support the calculation of Research and Innovation indicators focusing on the use cases under development in the IntelComp project, where the indicators will allow to get insights from current practices, assess the impact and spot the trends in Science, Technology and Innovation.

Speakers:
- Claudio Atzori, CNR-IT
- Ioanna Grypari, ARC

Aurora and OpenAIRE: CONNECTing research and SDG

OpenAIRE CONNECT enables institutions, universities, or lead teams on a scientific domain, to easily create, configure and manage their own customised web portals (aka gateways) for the discovery of research outcomes that are of interest to their audiences. 
Thanks to its high configurability, a CONNECT Gateway can be customized with the community identity and be a single entry point to the research products relevant for the community among everything that is available in the OpenAIRE Research Graph. 
Monitoring the contribution to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) is now easier than ever thanks to the specific filter, but more amazing features are yet to come thanks to the collaboration between Aurora and OpenAIRE. 
Aurora is a partnership of like-minded and closely collaborating research intensive European universities, who use their academic excellence to drive societal change and contribute to the sustainable development goals.

Discover the Aurora gateway (https://aurora.openaire.eu) and how the teams are collaborating to monitor Open Science and the research impact on SDGs.

OpenAIRE EXPLORE: Discovering research with focus on Sustainable Development Goals and Fields of Science classifications

OpenAIRE EXPLORE is a discovery portal of Open Science scholarly works that is built on top of the OpenAIRE Research Graph.  OpenAIRE embraces the need of open scholarly works mapping with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) classification and the Fields of Science taxonomy. These classifications assist to view contributions of research towards complex challenges for  humanity such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and poverty reduction.

In this workshop you will find out how SciNoBo - the Science No Borders team from our partner, Athena Research Center and its Artificial Intelligence stack - applies advanced Natural Language Processing and Graph Machine Learning technologies to provide  FoS and SDG annotations to enhance the research products of the OpenAIRE Research Graph and how this new knowledge discovery pathway is now available through OpenAIRE EXPLORE.

The OpenAIRE MONITOR Institutional dashboard

The reliable and timely monitoring and evaluation of research activities is indispensable for the efficient allocation of resources and the overall decision-making processes for every organisation conducting scholarly research. Built upon the OpenAIRE research graph, the OpenAIRE Monitor Institutional Dashboard, a tailor-made data and visualization service of OpenAIRE allows organizations to get a 360º view of their research outcomes, monitor their Open Science compliance, discover Open Science trends, measure impact, discover trends, connections and collaborations and overall turn data into insights, so as to improve and optimize their future actions. The data from repositories and other content providers, passing through the OpenAIRE Research pipeline to be aggregated, deduplicated, enriched and cleaned, is the steppingstone for providing accurate and timely indicators, and a well-rounded monitoring dashboard.
