Risks and trust in pursuit of a well functioning Persistent Identifier infrastructure for research

Persistent Identifiers and their infrastructures are argued to be of significant strategic importance to modern-day research. We aim to better understand what is needed to build and exploit a well-functioning PID infrastructure.

Our Collaboration

The Knowledge Exchange (KE) partners are six key national organisations within Europe tasked with developing infrastructure and services to enable the use of digital technologies to improve higher education and research: CSC in Finland, CNRS in France, DeiC in Denmark, DFG in Germany, Jisc in the UK and SURF in the Netherlands.

Our six partners share a clear vision that scholarship should be open. Through Knowledge Exchange we are working together to support the development of digital infrastructure to enable open scholarship. We are raising our collective voice to inform national and international policies and promote common approaches, so that it becomes easier for scholarship to cross national boundaries.

We share our knowledge, experiences and resources.
