Speakers will explain why they signed the Barcelona Declaration; how they use or are moving to open, non-proprietary systems; the governance considerations and technical steps taken; and the challenges and benefits. These cases offer practical pathways and actionable insights for institutions considering similar transformations.
Why attend?
Gain practical insights, lessons learned, and examples that can inform your institution’s transition toward open, non-proprietary research-information systems.
Who should attend?
Professionals involved with these tools and systems (librarians, IT departments, research policy officers), in roles responsible for research evaluation, and those engaged at the practical/implementation level.
By bringing together institutions at different stages, this session underscores that there is no single path to openness. We look forward to seeing you and continuing the conversation on how to make research information openly available in practice.
