On January 23, 2025, the Pattern Remake Workshop brought together researchers, facilitators, and citizen scientists to discuss emerging trends in Open & Responsible Research and Innovation. Held in a hybrid format, it connected participants across Europe, with in-person sessions at Politecnico di Milano.

The PathOS training programme is off to a great start, providing insights and guidance to a diverse range of Open Science stakeholders, including policy officers, funders, university executives, research infrastructure managers, librarians, Open Science experts, researchers and scientometricians. The primary goal of PathOS training is to equip these groups with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to utilize PathOS outputs effectively. Are you interested in learning more about training on how to measure impact of Open Science?

A new initiative has been launched to tackle open source and open science challenges with community-driven solutions. TheOpen Innovation Sprints are being coordinated byNumFOCUS, theResearch Software Alliance(ReSA), andOpen Source Collective, with support fromOpenAIRE and other organizations.

The EOSC-Association recently launched Opportunity Area 7 (OA7): Research Software, an initiative with the mission to highlight research software as a first-class research output. OA7 aims to advance Open Science by enhancing the EOSC ecosystem, fostering sustainable research software infrastructures, and promoting quality and reuse practices. 

The Science, Research, and Innovation Performance (SRIP) report, one of the key publications from the European Commission’s DG-R&I, offers in-depth analyses of research and innovation dynamics, as well as the EU’s overall innovation performance. The report has leveraged the OpenAIRE Graph to analyze Open Science results, further enhancing its insights into Europe’s evolving research landscape.

OpenAIRE PROVIDE now offers a Validated Badge for repositories and data sources that meet OpenAIRE Guidelines through the OpenAIRE Metadata Validator. A mark of trust and compliance, helping repositories showcase their commitment to global standards.

Research assessment shapes careers, funding, and institutional priorities, yet many systems remain opaque and exclusive. Relying on proprietary, black-box metrics, they fail to capture the full diversity of research contributions and global scholarship. To change this, the CoARA Working Group ‘’Towards Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment’’ (OI4RRA) has developed a framework that outlines how Open Infrastructures (OIs) can support a fair, transparent, and responsible approach to research assessment.

European Repositories: A robust repository network is essential to safeguarding Europe’s research legacy and advancing scientific excellence. As Open Science continues to reshape research, repositories serve as critical knowledge infrastructures that ensure research outputs remain accessible, trustworthy, and reusable. Read the details!

Our third Open Insights session, held on February 13, 2025, explored the role of institutional repositories in advancing Ireland’s goal of 100% Open Access. OpenAIRE’s Leonidas Pispiringas shared best practices for repository data integration into the OpenAIRE Graph, while Cillian Joy (University of Galway) highlighted collaborative efforts to enhance interoperability and metadata quality.
