In future, Open Research Europe (ORE) will no longer be open solely to projects funded under the EU Framework Programmes for Research; instead, all research institutions in the participating countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland) will be able to use the platform free of charge, regardless of whether their projects receive funding.

Social media algorithms prioritize right-wing content and influence the political views and behavior of real users. This is the finding of the recent study “The political effects of X’s feed algorithm”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10098-2

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature

Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.

Thank you so much for all your hard work over the years, Jannis. And even if @pyOpenSci is currently struggling with AI slop themselves, they might still be able to support some scientific Python projects.

... and on the same topic: “AI is forcing us to evolve, on some level, every aspect of the publishing process”

Will AI Help or Hinder Scientific Publishing?

Artificial intelligence could reshape both the creation and evaluation of research. But experts warn of risks.

The German Research Association (@dfg_public) has established binding framework conditions for the use of AI. The aim is to ensure the legally compliant and transparent use of AI, taking technological developments into account while maintaining scientific integrity: https://www.dfg.de/en/news/news-topics/announcements-proposals/2026/ifr-26-18
