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.

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.

LA Referencia at the #OpenAIRE Tech Meeting!
Our collaboration strengthens as we work together on bidirectional exchange between #LAReferencia & the #OpenAIREGraph to enrich regional and global discovery, ensuring stronger representation of Latin American #ResearchOutputs.
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.

The second General Assembly of the @eosc_everse project is underway at @CERN coordinated by Fotis Psomopoulos.
As the project enters its final year, the focus moves from implementation to dissemination, with consolidated services ready to reach a broader research community.
OpenAIRE is proud to support this next phase, fostering sustainable, community-driven research software practices across the #EOSC ecosystem.
Part 2 of the OpenAIRE Community Interview Series is out!
Together with Jitka Dobbersteinová (Slovak Centre of Scientific & Technical Information, Slovakia), we discuss what it means to be part of the OpenAIRE network, what would be missing without it, how it helps break silos across Europe, and hopes for the future of Open Science.
