The second #OpenAIRE workshop on Collaborative Pathways to Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) via #OpenInfrastructures gathered research managers, infrastructure providers, & #openscience practitioners.

Participants applied the @CoARAssessment OI4RRA checklist to MyResearchFolio and @graspos Meta-Catalogue, exploring practical ways to support narrative CVs, inclusive research contributions, interoperability, and sustainable assessment practices.

Full recap: https://shorturl.at/Trk0d

At the #OpenAIRE Technical Meeting in Athens, collaboration with #LAReferencia moved into concrete technical collaboration.

Focusing on #metadata exchange, multilingual discovery, repository usage statistics, and interoperability guidelines, these discussions strengthen long-term cooperation and improve the global integration of #OpenInfrastructures.
