Projects

In the APARSEN project - Alliance Permanent Access to the Records of Science in Europe Network - a competence network for digital long-term archiving is being formed. The project was funded by the European Commission under the 7th Research Framework Programme. Under the umbrella of APARSEN, 30 institutions from all over Europe were networking their research activities in the field of long-term archiving.

The DeepGreen project aimed to transfer scientific and scholarly publications that can be made freely accessible under licensing law after embargo periods into Open Access. In the first funding phase, the project specifically targeted the DFG-funded supra-regionally negotiated licences, the so-called Alliance Licences, which contain special Open Access regulations.

The collaborative project „Ökosystem Datenmanagement: Analysen – Empfehlungen – FAIRification“ (EcoDM) aims to investigate how the steadily growing digital data from science, the public sector, businesses and qualification can be systematically (re-)used in accordance with the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and Reusable).

The project Opportunities for Data Exchange (ODE) was dedicated to the challenges and opportunities of sharing research data. The project was funded by the European Commission under the 7th Research Framework Programme. Within the framework of ODE, decision-makers and funding organisations at national and European level were consulted, forming infrastructures were examined and researchers who produce data were interviewed.

In the project "Options4OA - Strategic and Operational Options for Action of Scientific Institutions and Professional Societies to Shape the Open Access Transformation", a study was conducted on the state of Open Access in Germany. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

The ORCID DE project was funded by the DFG in two project phases from 2016 to 2019 and from 2020 to 2022 to support a sustainable implementation of the Open Researcher and Contributor ID, ORCID for short, at universities and non-university research institutions in Germany. The focus was equally on organizational, technical and legal issues. Central information and support services in German can still be found on the dialog platform www.orcid-de.org.
