Last week, just after the #WOOC2025, the GraspOS Consortium met in sunny Bologna, hosted by our partners from the University of Bologna.
The plenary meeting featured productive discussions to prepare for the next steps and final phase of the project.

On my way to beautiful Vienna (a full 11h train ride from Hamburg) to attend this year's AEUP conference #AEUP25 🤗
Together with colleagues from @oapenbooks @openbookcollect and the Netherlands University Presses (https://nups.nl), we will be hosting a workshop on how the NUPs are collaborating with #openinfrastructures in the #OAbooks space to establish a collective catalogue for their presses - this is gonna be fun!
Come join us if you happen to be in Vienna these next few days 😉

We signed @investinopen 's timely Statement of Support for a Global Research Ecosystem because now is the time to support and sustain #openinfrastructures – for #oabooks and beyond!
It was an honour to participate in the discussions on the future of scientific publishing at the Janelia campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the principles and features of an open and transparent communication system and sharing how @OKMaps' AI-powered platform can enhance discovery, curation, and research assessment within such a framework.
A big shout-out to the organisers and all participants!
We are honoured to be invited to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) “Future of Scientific Publishing” workshop.
As a solution provider, we’re excited to showcase the potential of Open Knowledge Maps’ AI-powered visual platform for scholarly communication and its benefits for science and society.
We look forward to collaborating with leading minds to shape a more open and transparent future for scientific publishing.
Our Norwegian-speaking 🇳🇴 audience can find out more about Open Knowledge Maps in this in-depth interview with Peter, in conversation with journalist Per Jarl Elle earlier this year.

I greatly enjoyed discussing Open Knowledge Maps (@OKMaps) at the Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing (@MuninConf) in Tromsø 🇳🇴 last week.
It was fantastic to speak about the possibilities for community-led AI systems in scholarly communication and to share how participatory governance and open infrastructures can create impactful, community-owned tools.
A huge thank you to the organisers and participants for such a stimulating event! 👏
🚨 Together with our Supporting Members, we are advancing innovation in open research and knowledge sharing.
And so we are thrilled to announce that the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft has upgraded to a Visionary Membership. This partnership will bolster our future development as we collaborate to drive open innovation in science.
📰 In a recent news piece on #ResearchAssessment and #openinfrastructures, Fotis Mystakopoulos reflects on the #Pubmet2024 Conference and on the Paris Conference on Open Research Information @BarcelonaDORI, highlighting #GraspOS' role in monitoring research and advancing the ongoing reforms.

What if it's not that there's not enough money for #OpenInfrastructures, but instead, it's that the costs of competition are too high?
In our latest blog post, Katherine Skinner questions some deep assumptions in the Open Infrastructure space: https://investinopen.org/blog/the-emperors-new-clothes-common-myths-hindering-open-infrastructure/
