We are pleased to announce PRIME – Progressing the Research Infrastructure towards Maturity & ERIC Status, a new project that marks a decisive step in the consolidation of OPERAS as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
Starting in the second half of 2026, ORE will enter a new pilot phase, operated by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and will be co-financed by a consortium of research funding and performing organisations, along with the European Commission. As part of this new phase, OPERAS Research Infrastructure will work in partnership with the ORE consortium to strengthen outreach and community engagement across Europe. OPERAS will contribute its expertise in multilingual, inclusive, and community-driven scholarly communication to help ensure that eligible researchers and institutions are aware of and able to benefit from the platform.
