Moving funding metadata forward: key takeaways from a Barcelona Declaration round table

On October 2, 2025, funders, publishers, submission system providers and infrastructure organisations came together for a focused discussion on improving the collection and sharing of open funding metadata.

Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information

πŸŽ‰ 1 year in: Crossref Grant IDs at NWO are now surfacing in publications.

In his post, @HLdeJonge (Barcelona Declaration funding metadata working group co-lead) breaks down how cleaner, connected funding metadata unlocks discovery, attribution & evaluation.

Within the BD community, the WG is partnering with funders, publishers & providers so these links become standard practice.

Celebrating one year of Crossref Grant IDs at NWO - Crossref

This month marks one year since the Dutch Research Council (NWO) introduced grant IDsβ€”an important milestone in our journey toward more transparent and trackable research funding. We created over 1,600 Crossref Grant IDs with associated metadata. We are beginning to see them appear in publications. These early examples show the enormous potential Grant IDs have. They also highlight that publishers could extend their efforts to improve the quality of funding metadata of publications.
