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.

๐ŸŒ #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:

๐Ÿ”น POSI can help guide governance and long-term strategy
๐Ÿ”น It supports sustainability decisions without prescribing a single model
๐Ÿ”น Europe PMCโ€™s open references added 256M+ citations, increasing coverage by 30%

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.
