Open Science is increasingly shaping the way research is conducted, shared, and assessed. Funders, publishers, and institutions are encouraging researchers to make their work more open, transparent, and reusable. But what does this mean in practice, and how can researchers benefit from it in their everyday work?

Aurora Universities are organising a series of online workshops on different aspects of Open Science to explore these questions and support researchers and research support staff in putting Open Science into practice. This session will be delivered by OpenAIRE, an Open Science infrastructure and service provider.

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the Aurora research portal, developed with OpenAIRE CONNECT, and discover how it can support research visibility, discovery, and collaboration across the Aurora alliance. The session will showcase how to explore research outputs, navigate institutional and thematic collections, identify expertise across partner universities, and better understand how research can be made more visible and connected within an open scholarly ecosystem.

Come and discover how the Aurora portal can help you explore research across the alliance and enhance opportunities for collaboration. Registration is available via the button at the bottom of this page.
