What we do

Two programmes, one mission

We pursue innovation through two complementary programmes: open science innovation from any source, and a structured industry engagement programme.
Programme I

Open Science Innovation

Innovation wherever it comes from: researchers, public infrastructures, civic tech, citizen science and grassroots initiatives. We incubate ideas that turn open knowledge into impact.
Programme II

Industry Engagement Programme

A structured mechanism for collaboration with industry: from data platforms and publishers to AI developers and analytics firms. Trusted, transparent partnerships that co-create value from open research.

Powered by the OpenAIRE Graph.

The OpenAIRE Graph is one of the world’s largest open scholarly collections, providing global coverage with high-quality, curated data. It encompasses publications, datasets, software, citations, and more, all seamlessly interconnected. With deduplicated records, disambiguated organizations, curated affiliations, and linked research outputs, the Graph enables you to identify your research community’s assets and connect them on a global scale. Enjoy comprehensive indicators and reliable metrics for actionable insights to enhance visibility, drive collaboration, and measure impact effectively.
