- Theme A: Explore and Narrate
Description: Pick a topic you care about and let the OpenAIRE Graph tell you something new about it. Follow the trail of papers, authors, datasets, and funding until a story emerges — then share it. Your artifact can be a documented conversation, a case study, a visual essay, or a structured write-up. No coding required. The insight is the contribution.
Ideal for: Domain researchers, educators
Description: Create something that makes the OpenAIRE Graph more useful. A tool, an app, an agent, a workflow, an integration with another data source - if it extends what people can do with open science data, it belongs here. You define the problem and the audience. We want to see something that works and that others can reuse or build on.
Ideal for: Developers, AI/ML engineers, research engineers
Description: Use the OpenAIRE Graph to produce evidence. Map a research field, track funding flows, identify gaps, benchmark outputs, or support a policy argument with data. Your artifact should answer a real question and be clear enough that a decision-maker could act on it. Reproducibility and transparency in your method are a plus.
Ideal for: Policy makers, scientometricians, business analysts
Description: Cross-disciplinary, experimental, playful, or genuinely strange — if it uses the OpenAIRE Graph and you can't find another theme that fits, this is yours. The only rule is that it has to be interesting.
Ideal for: Anyone
