The Research Councils UK (RCUK) has recently launched the ability for applicants to create and connect their ORCID iD to their grants system. By the end of the summer, RCUK expects to publish ORCID iDs against research information in their public Gateway to Research database. RCUK is working to improve interoperability between ORCID and other research systems like ResearchFish to enable exchange of publication data and reduce duplication for researchers. However, RCUK must also limit changes to their current grants system as they build a new one.
Implementing ORCID within UK Research and InnovationJisc
The presentation summarizes the UK research community's adoption of ORCID identifiers over the past decade. It notes that in 2011, research councils endorsed ORCID and in 2015 they became members of the Jisc UK ORCID Consortium. In 2016, ORCID was integrated into the Je-S grants system. Currently, 38.5k ORCID IDs are linked in Je-S and 34% of active Je-S users have a linked ORCID. The presentation discusses next steps like considering mandating ORCID and using ORCID data in new funding services. It concludes by asking for feedback on improving ORCID uptake and priorities.
European Research Funders and data sharing: an overview of current practicesDCC-info
This document provides an overview of data sharing policies and practices among European research funders. It finds that while many funders state a policy in support of open access to research data, fewer mandate sharing in repositories or monitor compliance. Common incentives for data sharing include guidance, tools and supported repositories, while rewards through additional funding or assessment are rare. Monitoring of data management plans and sharing is limited, occurring in only a few countries. The document discusses examples from the UK and other countries to identify best practices that could encourage data sharing while also building trust in repositories and services.

The focus during development of the open system has been long term repository preservation, security, stability and interoperability on the internet.
For repositories to succeed they have to end. Reflections on (not just) the U...Torsten Reimer
Presentation given at the Open Repositories 2018 conference in Bozeman, Montana, 6th June 2018. Starting with an assessment of the UK open access repository environment, this presentation asks broader questions about the state of the open repository landscape globally. In response to a report to the UK government on open access, Universities UK have set up a repositories working group to identify issues where common benefit can be delivered and actions that can be taken. In this talk I will combine my own assessment of the repository landscape with a summary of the work of the working group and its recommendations. The presentation will also introduce work underway at the British Library to address some of the issues the working group has identified, including an assessment of a national OA preservation solution and a shared-services repository infrastructure. I will make the case that to realise the benefits of open repositories we need to move away from the model of locally hosted repositories.

Facing data sharing in a heterogeneous research community: lights and shadows...Research Data Alliance
1) RITMARE is a large, multi-institutional Italian marine research project aiming to build a data management infrastructure to facilitate sharing of data across research communities.
2) Subproject 7 of RITMARE seeks to design an IT system that enables interoperability and data exchange without forcing a single model or centralization. Efforts have included developing a data policy, collecting researcher requirements, and creating tools and services.
3) While progress has been made in establishing nodes providing access to data and metadata, uptake by researchers has been less than expected due to insufficient technical support, lack of data-related incentives, and developing a data policy after the project began rather than at the outset.
