Bárbara Rivera López, our Community Manager, took part in a meeting at CLACSO (Buenos Aires), as part of the project “Tracking research funding flows in the Global South”.

Without open and interoperable data, it remains difficult to understand who funds what.

🎥 CLACSO has published a video from the event, featuring reflections from participants and an interview with Bárbara Rivera-López. Well worth a watch!

Bárbara Rivera López, nuestra Community Manager, participó en un encuentro en CLACSO (Buenos Aires), en el marco del proyecto "Rastrear los flujos de financiamiento a la investigación en el Sur Global para una ciencia más transparente e inclusiva"

Sin metadatos abiertos sigue siendo difícil saber quién financia qué.

Barcelona Declaration Working Group Sustaining Infrastructures - Sessions on Open Research Infrastructures and Related Initiatives - Report

The Working Group Sustaining Infrastructures of the Barcelona Declaration examines how open infrastructures for research information can be sustainably supported across the research ecosystem. As part of this work, the Working Group is exploring different governance approaches, sustainability models, and forms of community engagement that underpin existing infrastructures. In September and October 2025, the Working Group organized two knowledge-sharing sessions with open infrastructures (Session 1) and initiatives operating at the ecosystem level (Session 2) to discuss sustainability models and how these can be strengthened through community engagement, coordination, transparency, and strategic investment.The sessions aimed at knowledge sharing and identifying where the Barcelona Declaration community (and the Working Group in particular), can most effectively contribute in supporting signatories as they transition toward open research information.Additional materialsSession on Open Infrastructures🖥️ Presentations: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18187006🎬 Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf_5px0PjzsSession on Related Initiatives🖥️ Presentations: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18188254🎬 Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf_5px0Pjzs

Working groups

About the Working Groups The Barcelona Declaration working groups were established to promote collective action around the transition to open research information. The Barcelona Declaration calls upon organizations performing, funding and evaluating research to move towards open research information. In many areas, progress requires collaboration and collective work to overcome barriers. Such actions also often involve collaboration with organizations providing data, services and infrastructures. The working groups were established around priority areas identified in the Roadmap on Open Research Information, which outlines topics where coordinated efforts can accelerate progress.

@fwf has launched an Open API to access structured data on funded projects and outputs, enabling funding information to be explored, connected, and reused across systems.

A strong example of open research information in practice. Also closely aligned with the work of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝟑 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 within the Barcelona Declaration.

🌍 #OpenDataDay is a global moment to reflect on the societal impact of open data, and how different parts of the open data ecosystem connect.

In that spirit, @okfn and Open Nederland highlight the importance of linking different open data communities: governmental, cultural, scientific, and geographical.

A few takeaways from the POSI 2.0 discussion:

🔹 POSI can help guide governance and long-term strategy
🔹 It supports sustainability decisions without prescribing a single model
🔹 Europe PMC’s open references added 256M+ citations, increasing coverage by 30%

📄 Full recap: https://barcelona-declaration.org/news/20260305_webinar_summary_how_posi_v2_guides_sustainability/

From principles to practice: What POSI 2.0 means for sustainable open infrastructure

How do shared principles actually reshape governance, funding models, and everyday decisions inside open scholarly infrastructures? This question framed our recent webinar, organized in light of the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) 2.0.
