SUMMARY:29th Annual International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators
DESCRIPTION:The 29th Annual STI-ENID Conference\, themed “Reconciliation of Research and Measurement\,” explores how to bridge divides in methodology\, epistemology\, and indicator debates while addressing equity and diversity in research culture. Hosted by the University of Bristol\, renowned for its commitment to reconciliation and inclusion\, the conference fosters critical dialogue on harmonizing diverse perspectives and practices to advance equitable\, impactful research. \nThe 2025 conference will explore themes around reconciling our own research and perspectives with new developments in the field such as: how CoARA is interpreted and implemented; how we can work with a new generation of meta-researchers; and\, towards that end\, how we can embrace a wider interdisciplinary and methodological tool sets in our a stronger STI-ENID community. \nTogether\, we’ll chart pathways toward more united research systems and a stronger STI-ENID community.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Trust through Transparency\, Access and Quality: Emerging Strategies to Tackle Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:This session within the Science Summit 2025 addresses two pressing global challenges: (1) rebuilding trust among humans and societies and (2) combating the spread of disinformation. \nThe objectives are rooted in the recognition that no trust in information is possible if mistrust is too high within societies. Secondly\, it considers that fact-checking—though essential—arrives too late in the process to effectively tackle disinformation. Two linked actions must be done to drastically reduce disinformation: 1. increasing the quality of content and 2. (re)building trust across those sharing and receiving content. \nThe session will examine how these two areas—content quality and trust-building—are not only interrelated but work in tandem to significantly reduce the spread of disinformation. Efforts presented will illustrate how improving the integrity of information and establishing trust between institutions and the public is possible through actionable strategies that create a more informed\, resilient\, and cohesive society. \nThe interconnections between trust markers and content quality disclosures will be presented in the context of existing efforts. Taking its roots in the scientific context that have defined criteria for creating trust and maintaining quality\, the session closes with suggested actions for policymakers seeking to strengthen national data governance and stewardship.

SUMMARY:Webinar on Digital Services Act
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 18 September 2025 at 16:00 CEST\, the EOSC Association will host a webinar on the Digital Services Act (DSA) and its accompanying delegated act on researcher data access\, which aims to help vetted researchers access the internal data of very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) across the European Union.\nA representative from the Directorate-General for Communications Networks\, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) will present the DSA and discuss its practical implications for research and innovation. The webinar will be moderated by EOSC-A President Klaus Tochtermann. \nThe webinar is open for the wider EOSC-A community and all interested stakeholders. Registration is required. Please fill in this form by 17 September 2025 (23:59 CEST) to attend the webinar. \nOn 27 June\, the Board of Digital Services Coordinators endorsed a plan for closer cooperation to ensure uniform implementation of researcher vetting and data access procedures under the DSA. The European Parliament and the Council have three months to review the delegated act following its adoption in early July. Once it enters into force and is published in the Official Journal\, the first researchers will be able to apply for access to platform data. \nIn the left-hand column of this page you will find a collection of useful links on the DSA\, in particular its data access and transparency provisions. \nJoin us to explore how these developments will expand research opportunities and prepare for the moment the delegated act takes effect.

SUMMARY:ENRIO 2025
DESCRIPTION:The ENRIO 2025 Congress in Ljubljana will continue the newly established series of biennial events addressing research integrity practice (RI) and the development of responsible research in Europe. ENRIO 2025 is organised by the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) and University of Ljubljana\, Slovenia. \nThe Congress is aimed at all experts in research integrity and research ethics\, RI officers and practitioners\, members of ethics and investigation committees\, representatives of research funding organisations and sponsors\, and all interested and involved in the enhancement and sustainable implementation of good RI practices and policies. \nThematically\, the Congress will emphasise power dynamics in research and institutional responsibility to foster an open\, safe and inclusive research environment as a foundation for RI in everyday practice. In a broader global context\, this also implies the recognition of fairness\, equity and diversity as essential components of RI\, as outlined in the Cape Town Statement of 2022. Contributions will reflect the range of challenges\, as well as practical and emerging solutions for prevention and awareness raising. \nRegistration and Call for Abstracts opened in December 2024.

SUMMARY:OASPA2025 Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing
DESCRIPTION:OASPA’s annual conference is the only event that brings together the whole of the open access community\, accelerating connection\, discovery and new thinking. Our 2025 conference will focus on the complexities we know we face in asking how we achieve a future with 100% open access. \nCollectively we will consider the key questions that arise from pursuing this goal\, for example\, can pursuit of the goal itself distract us from quality\, sustainability and inclusivity in scholarly communications? Should 100% even be the goal and what do we mean by it? \nHow do we address the crucial underlying issues to tackle in our research culture and with research integrity? Does a focus on transitioning from paywalled to open access content detract from the efforts of those already delivering 100% open access? And how is the wider geopolitical landscape impacting our ambitions?

SUMMARY:9th Open Science Retreat: Diamond OA: Utopian Dream or the Only Fair Future?
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to the 9th Open Science Retreat – this time with a focus on Diamond Open Access. \nDiamond Open Access has gained increasing attention in recent years as a community-led\, equitable model for scholarly publishing that aligns closely with the principles of Open Science. But is Diamond Open Access the long-awaited solution for equitable scholarly publishing – or merely an idealistic vision? This retreat critically explores the promises and limitations of Diamond OA\, its role in advancing Open Science\, and the role of the scientific community in the success of the model. A view on financing models and a spotlight on successful Diamond OA initiatives will provide practical insights into key success factors and persistent challenges. \nTo guide our discussions\, we propose the following questions: \n\nWhat can the contribution of Diamond OA be to addressing current challenges in scholarly publishing and where does its potential end?\nWhat are effective strategies\, recommendations\, best practices or lessons-learnt to applying AI in a responsible manner for upholding the Open Science principles?\nWhat policy and infrastructure conditions are necessary to ensure Diamond OA can flourish?\n\nJoin for a critical examination of whether Diamond OA is an innovative model or simply the next battleground in the future of publishing. We are looking forward to an exciting retreat – be part of it!
