Ireland’s National Action Plan for Open Research
Ireland’s National Action Plan for Open Research 2022-2030 outlines objectives and actions for the next chapter in Ireland’s transition towards open research. It serves as a roadmap for the implementation of open research across Ireland, outlining national goals and coordinated actions that will assist the Irish research system as a whole to better support open research practices.
The National Action Plan is structured according to three themes: Establishing a culture of open research; achieving 100% open access to research publications; and enabling FAIR research data and other outputs.
The National Action Plan has been endorsed by over 50 national and international stakeholder organisations.
Ireland’s National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategy and Roadmap
Impact, Openness, Interoperability: Recommendations and a Roadmap for an Irish National PID Strategy presents 15 key recommendations and detailed actions aimed at establishing a more efficient, transparent, and open research ecosystem in Ireland, spanning the period until 2030.
The objective is to enable seamless information flow between systems and organisations, reduce bureaucratic burdens, and enhance research transparency and integrity. PIDs underpin this vision as they act as critical bridges between entities.
The project to deliver this roadmap was initiated in response to the National Action Plan for Open Research.
