This morning, #OpenCitations was awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Research Infrastructure Leadership, marking the conclusion of the Executive Masters in Management of Research Infrastructures (#EMMRI), a unique journey that saw members of the OpenCitations team participate in all the programme’s training modules.

We are deeply grateful to the entire faculty who guided us throughout this educational path, and especially to Dr Marialuisa Lavitrano, Dr Enrico Guarini, and Dr Laura Farina for making possible the creation of a master’s programme truly unique in its kind.

💡During today’s graduation session, one sentence resonated strongly with us: “Leadership is a form of enthusiasm.”

This perfectly reflects the spirit that drives our daily work at OpenCitations. Beyond the knowledge and skills we gained, we will carry forward the relationships and shared visions we built with colleagues across global research infrastructures: this enthusiasm for collaboratively building sustainable infrastructures for research is something we recognized in every participant we met along the way. @unimib @essepuntato @brevelunga
