Unfortunately, it looks like the US NSF is terminating and suspending research grants again.
This time, they are doing it in a way that doesn't show up in publicly available data, so please help us out and report if you've received suspension or termination letters for your NSF awards!

How are countries shaping the future of #OpenScience and #EOSC?
That was the focus of todayโs webinar on national contributions across Europe.
๐ Moving from policy ambition to implementation requires clear, comparable evidence
๐ As Open Science becomes structural, monitoring and investment need to keep up
Using neural embeddings of citation networks, researchers map scientific โdisruptionโ: when future research stops following past directions and starts a new trajectory.

The history of science and technology is marked by major breakthroughsโthe theory of evolution, the splitting of the atom, the development of antibioticsโand a research team including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has developed a method to help pinpoint discoveries that reshaped the course of science.
If public research is funded as a public good, why is the intelligence used to evaluate it still locked behind closed systems?
This article explores the reliance on opaque, proprietary infrastructures and presents the @OpenAIREGraph as an open, community-governed alternative for transparent and auditable research intelligence.

How can we use Open Science indicators responsibly to support better decisions?
As indicators become central to tracking progress, they also shape incentives, behaviour, and funding priorities across the research system.
This webinar explores how to use them to support evidence-based policy, meaningful monitoring, and responsible research assessment.
