OpenAIRE AMKE is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote open scholarship and to improve the discoverability, accessibility, shareability, reusability, reproducibility and monitoring of data-driven research results, across scientific disciplines and thematic domains, globally.
How do we hold open infrastructures accountable — and to whom?
As POSI v2.0 sets a new standard, OpenAIRE shares the results of its latest self-assessment, reflecting five years of learning, growth, and deeper community alignment.
Explore how transparency, governance, and sustainability guide our path forward and why this matters for the scholarly community.

The second #OpenAIRE workshop on Collaborative Pathways to Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) via #OpenInfrastructures gathered research managers, infrastructure providers, & #openscience practitioners.
Participants applied the @CoARAssessment OI4RRA checklist to MyResearchFolio and @graspos Meta-Catalogue, exploring practical ways to support narrative CVs, inclusive research contributions, interoperability, and sustainable assessment practices.

This week, OpenAIRE took part in the CIMAR-LA Seminar The Open Science Tools Series – Data Management Planning in Practice, presenting ARGOS through a live demo.
The session showed how researchers can use ARGOS to create and manage Data Management Plans aligned with Open Science and FAIR principles.
The programme also included presentations on the role of DMPs in Open Science and a national case of implementing a DMP system.
The @eosc_everse community is gathering at #CERN
Alberto di Meglio, digital strategy lead at CERN's CIO office, shares a powerful message: Recognizing software as a first-class pillar of research isn't just a cultural shift but requires bold governance and strategic vision.
The day continues with demos of EVERSE services and contributions from EOSC Science clusters and other communities.

Through the #EOSC Federation, @OpenAIREGraph continues to grow as a global #openresearch infrastructure.
By integrating national and thematic research catalogues that implement the #OpenAIRE Guidelines, the Graph now offers richer coverage across countries & scientific domains, from national research platforms to specialised data repositories such as CERN #OpenData & marine science collections.
At the #OpenAIRE Technical Meeting in Athens, collaboration with #LAReferencia moved into concrete technical collaboration.
Focusing on #metadata exchange, multilingual discovery, repository usage statistics, and interoperability guidelines, these discussions strengthen long-term cooperation and improve the global integration of #OpenInfrastructures.

#Metadata mutability may sound harmless, but it can distort research metrics and misattribute credit.
To ensure fair and responsible #ResearchAssessment in #OpenScience, freezing & versioning metadata is critical.
Here, #OpenAIREGraph CTO @paolomanghi breaks down both the risks and possible solutions.
