Ireland’s National Open Research Forum (NORF) Established in 2017 to drive the Irish agenda for Open Research First phase of work included developing Ireland’s National Framework on the Transition to an Open Research Environment (July 2019) Current phase focused on the development and delivery of a National Action Plan Development of the National Action Plan is supported by National Working Groups in five strategic areas https://norf.ie/ https://doi.org/10.7486/DRI.0287dj04d
- 7. Towards a National Action Plan for Open Research Aim is to define nationally coordinated actions for research and researchers in the key areas of open access publications, FAIR research outputs, infrastructures, skills and competencies, and incentives and rewards. Three stages/outputs over 2021: ● National Open Research Landscape Report ● Interim Recommendations for Implementing a National Open Research Environment ● National Action Plan for Open Research in Ireland
- 8. National Open Research Landscape Report Aims to provide: ● A snapshot of the current state of open research in Ireland. ● A national summary of the relevant strategic area, progress towards the National Framework Recommendations, identify key gaps and challenges, and highlight examples of good practice both nationally and internationally.
- 9. Opportunities to contribute Open consultation until 7 May 2021: A. Open comments on the draft report NORF is seeking feedback to ensure accuracy and completeness. Add comments to the document http://bit.ly/NORFlandscape (preferred method) or email (d.bangert@ria.ie) A. Survey on opportunities for national coordination NORF is collecting broad input on potential areas that could benefit from coordination at a national level.

- 14. Progress towards NFRs ● Establishment of the Irish ORCID Consortium (March 2020) ○ NFR 12: “Open access publications should be easily identifiable by appropriate technical means, defined through the National Action Plan” ○ NFR 17: “Datasets should be made easily identifiable through persistent identifiers, accompanied by standardised metadata, including funder names and grant numbers” ● Progress towards NFR 21: “synergies among national infrastructures [...] and the European Open Science Cloud”
- 15. Examples of good practice ● UK National PID Consortium ● Networking & Computing ○ JISC Open Research Hub

Editor's Notes
- Hello and welcome to this webinar hosted by the National Open Research Forum (NORF) focused on Infrastructures for Open Research. My name is Daniel Bangert - I work with NORF as National Open Research Coordinator and am based at the Digital Repository of Ireland. Before we get started, I’d like to go over a few housekeeping items, so you know how to participate in today’s event. Audience cameras are off and mics are muted but we encourage participation in the event using the webinar’s interactive features. During the webinar, there will be opportunities to submit your questions to today’s speakers. To do so, just type your question into the Q&A at the bottom of the control panel. Please note that the chat function is enabled and you are welcome to submit comments through the chat; however, please use the Q&A feature to submit questions as we will not be monitoring the chat for questions. We will also be using Mentimeter during the webinar and encourage everyone to give feedback during those interactive sections. We are recording this webinar and will share the link to the recording after the event. If you would like to tweet about the event, the event hashtag is #OpenResearchIE and you can also tag the NORF Twitter account.
- The objectives for today are to present and discuss developments related to Infrastructures to support Open Research, firstly setting up the national context (what is the state of play in relation to Open Research Infrastructures in Ireland?) and then hear about work in the broader international context. For NORF specifically, an objective is to engage a broad national audience in work underway to analyse the open research landscape and invite feedback. This webinar is part of an open consultation process and I’ll be highlighting opportunities to contribute.
- To get us acquainted with who has joined the webinar today, I’d like to invite you all to go to menti.com and use the code 51477317. There we’ll run through a few questions for the audience.
- The National Open Research Forum (NORF) was established in 2017 to drive the national agenda for open research. In its first phase of work, NORF prepared Ireland’s National Framework on the Transition to an Open Research Environment launched in July 2019. The National Framework consists of 28 objectives or recommendations across five strategic areas: open access to research publications; enabling FAIR research data; infrastructures for access to and preservation of research; skills and competencies; and incentives and rewards. In the current phase of NORF, running from 2020-2022, the forum has established five working groups to examine each of the strategic areas - as you can see here - under Open Access, FAIR data, infrastructures, skills and competencies, and incentives. NORF also operates a Steering Group and Funders Forum and further details about NORF and its membership are available on the NORF website.
- Today is the first broad engagement on the initial phase of work - landscaping.

- I’d now like to handover to my colleagues Eoghan leads the Research and Digital Services unit in UCC Library which has responsibility for supporting Open Access and FAIR Data across campus. He was chair of Infrastructure Working Group in the first phase of NORF, and was an editor of the National Framework. He previously worked at the National Library of Ireland, where he led the development of its digital repository infrastructure. More recently, he has contributed to the development of a number of technical standards related to Open Research and FAIR Data, including the Research Object Crate specification and recommendations from the Resarch Data Alliance Repository Interoperability Working Group. Caleb is Head of Technical and Digital Services at the University of Limerick, where he has overall responsibility for strategy and operations related to collections, electronic resources and library systems and infrastructure. Additionally, Caleb is in charge of the Library’s digital services, including the digital library, the institutional repository and other services related to digital scholarship. Caleb is the Chair of the Rian Technical Committee, Chair of the CONUL Research Group, and a Team Lead for the LIBER DH Working Group. Caleb has been an active participant in the international open repository software community.
