Driving FAIR, interoperable research across Europe
#OSTrails #OpenScience #FAIRdata #EOSC
How ready are European repositories for real reuse?
A new report from the EOSC-A FAIR Metrics and Digital Objects Task Force shows that while many repositories are strong on discovery, data-level interoperability and reusability still need work.
Because better FAIR digital objects are not only visible, but easier to connect, assess, and reuse.

At the 1st @OSTrails Bootcamp in Braga, Leonidas Pispiringas presented how the OpenAIRE metadata validator has been extended to support FAIRness assessment.
Repositories following the OpenAIRE Guidelines will be able to assess their data collections based on the OSTrails FAIR-IF, helping strengthen the FAIRness of their collections.
Repository manager? Get in touch to try it out.
At today’s OSTrails Consortium meeting in Braga, Natalia Manola and Elli Papadopoulou presented the project’s impact, emphasizing the long-term value and sustainability of its outputs.
A big thank you to the Unimho team for hosting our face-to-face meeting at the University of Minho.
The new OSTrails newsletter is out!
This edition features our 1st Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp, updates from EOSC Winter School 2026 and EVERSE, pilot interviews from Biodiversity & Norway, and the latest on OSTrails Commons & tools for FAIR, interoperable research.

Hello #IDCC2026! We are in Croatia discussing the future of #OpenScience.
Our sessions cover: Scientific Knowledge Graphs (#SKGs) Machine-actionable DMPs (#maDMPs) #FAIR assessment results
Discover how the #OSTrails Commons and our Interoperability Reference Architecture streamline scientific information exchange. We want to hear your thoughts on these connections!

Only 3 days left! Join #OSTrails at #IDCC26 in Zagreb for a deep dive into Interoperability Frameworks for #EOSC. 🇭🇷
We’ll be covering: Machine-actionable DMPs, Semantic Knowledge Graphs (SKGs) FAIR Assessment metrics
Workshop bookings are still open—don't miss out!
We’re really happy to take part in the @eosc_everse Community Engagement Event at @CERN
A great chance to meet colleagues, exchange ideas, and share #OSTrails work on open-source software development and quality indicators for FAIR and DMP assessment, with the goal of converging & building future collaborations.
Learn more about the envisaged results of #OSTrails here: https://ostrails.eu/envisaged-results
Happy to discuss the dimensions and metrics we’ve been working on so far!
OSTrails at #EOSCWinterSchool2026 !
Track 1 on Federating Capabilities & Interoperability.
Sessions and roundtables focused on how interoperability is implemented in practice: connecting DMPs to RDM systems via DMP-IF, aligning ARGOS, DAMAP & DSW through shared RDA-based standards, extending SKG-IF for aggregation at scale, and operationalising FAIRness assessment.
Happy faces, strong collaboration, concrete solutions & socks still available!
