Program
Organized by the Barcelona Declaration’s Working Group on Replacing Closed Systems (WG4) and the Helmholtz Open Science Office, this webinar showcased four institutional journeys from Europe and Latin America that use (or are moving toward) open, non-proprietary systems for open research information.
Speakers explained why the institutions signed the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information; how they use or are moving to open, non-proprietary systems; the governance considerations and technical steps taken; and the challenges and benefits. These cases offer practical pathways and actionable insights for institutions considering similar transformations.
