Successful Symposium on Digitalisation of Research 2025!
👉 Our Symposium on Digitalisation of Research took place in December and was a huge success! With a great audience, amazing talks, interesting posters and insightful discussions the event turned very fruitful. We were delighted to see that the months-long preparations turned out so positively.
👀 DiTraRe Symposium presentations are available online. Check out our Zenodo community to find contributions and posters or find them on the Symposium website in the tab "Programme".

Open Science Conference wrap-up
Open Science Conference 2025: Shaping a Bright Future for Open Science and AI
This year’s Open Science Conference was dedicated entirely to Open Science and AI. Participants examined both the opportunities and the challenges at this intersection, exploring how to responsibly integrate AI into research processes and, conversely, how to build trustworthy AI on trustworthy data.
DiTraRe team added to the Conference by organising a discussion session "Streamlining Data Publication: Automatic Metadata and Large Datasets in the Age of AI".
