One Network, Many Possibilities: Strengthening the OPERAS Community.

This conference is jointly organised by the OPERAS Research Infrastructure and the SCIROS project, both of which have been actively exploring issues within the Open Science landscape.

Time:18. May 2026 kl. 10.09
Location: Warsaw, Poland • Digital and in person

OPERAS, an infrastructure for scholarly communication in SSH, has been growing for almost a decade and is planning to become a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in the upcoming years. SCIROS, launched in 2024, brings a fresh and ambitious perspective, building a vibrant and diverse network of researchers and research-performing organisations devoted to deepening the understanding of Open Science, fostering new approaches to its theory, and strengthening the OS practices and infrastructure ecosystem through collaboration.

By bringing together the OPERAS ecosystem and the SCIROS research network, the conference creates a unique platform for the entire Open Science community to engage in reflection, dialogue, and knowledge exchange across theory, empirical study, and infrastructure development. In this way, the conference theme, “One network, many possibilities. Strengthening the OPERAS community,” comes to life, showing how a connected yet diverse network can expand opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth in Open Science.

Information about conference priorities and themes is to be found on the conference webpage.
