Strengthening Open Research Information in Greece: Reflections from the Barcelona Declaration Event - OpenAIRE Blog

"On 24 November 2025, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and the Athena Research Center (ARC) brought together members of the Greek research community for an event dedicated to the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. Hosted at the Law School Library's Small Amphitheatre, the gathering reaffirmed the growing momentum in Greece toward more transparent, interoperable, and community-driven research information systems.

The evening opened with insights from Bianca Kramer, Executive Director of the Barcelona DORI, who outlined the international vision behind the Declaration and stressed the need to move research information away from closed, proprietary systems toward open, verifiable infrastructures governed by the scientific community. Her contribution highlighted the urgency and collaborative nature of this transition."
