Endlich könnt Ihr euch für das #PIDfest2026 anmelden. Drei Tage lang könnt Ihr mit anderen PID-Interessierten und PID-Anwender*innen (von Newbies bis Profis), euch austauschen und Pläne schmieden, wie Persistent Identifier Open Science weiter voranbringen können.
Husch, Husch, die Plätze sind schnell weg: https://www.pidfest.org/register
Wenn Ihr noch mehr Leiden und "Connecten" wollt, dann meldet euch gerne auch für das DataCite Connect Event am Vortag an. Egal ob Ihr DataCite-Mitglied seid oder nicht, uns interessiert eure Meinung zu Metadaten, PIDs, und offenen Infrastrukturen und wie wir sie besser machen können:

What do we need PIDs to be if they're going to save the world?
Addressing questions of geopolitics, trust in knowledge, sustainability models, and the age-old centralisation vs federation question (by questioning the assumptions in the question)

How can community-informed metadata guidance become practical repository improvements? In this guest post, LMU Munich shares how the PID Network Germany pilot supports better DOI metadata workflows through the DataCite Metadata Generator - a reusable tool for metadata creation and validation with integrated PID support: https://doi.org/10.5438/acdm-0120

Recordings and slides from the RAiD Global Community Meetings (20 May 2026) are now available.
The RAiD Operating Alliance was announced publicly for the first time — a global governance body of ARDC, SURF, SDSC, and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.
Other highlights: SURF's Netherlands service launching Q3 2026, 605 RAiDs minted in Australia/NZ, and growing US and Canadian pilots.
Open funding metadata is the backbone of transparent research. In our response to the Barcelona Declaration Call to Action, we show how DataCite is advancing award DOIs, funder PIDs & metadata enrichment to connect funding with research impact: https://doi.org/10.5438/9dw2-8g96
