Description
Digital transformation is stimulating research towards a more collaborative, global and open ecosystem, shifting the new paradigm of science towards openness, participation, transparency, and social impact. Even though this shift has started a few years already, it is still unclear how we can take and sustain it at the global level as we are missing consensus on essential elements of the ecosystem, and specifically on the connecting elements. We are asking researchers to share, but this will only happen if we develop the right environment for them with incentives and services. This presentation focuses on how OpenAIRE is building bridges within Europe and with regional infrastructures around the world to bridge scholarly communication initiatives, by sharing and putting forward best practices on policy and services, by assisting communities to develop with open science in their core, by enabling all actors across the research spectrum to commit to local infrastructure, and by putting the connecting elements for a global effect.
