D5.5 Second Report on the PID Forum

This public deliverable is FREYA's second report on the PID Forum, a platform for engagement, interaction and discussion between FREYA and the PID community. It describes the development, activities, and stakeholder reach of the PID Forum during the second year of the project. Major advancements in the past year include the creation of PIDForum.org, a global online discussion platform about persistent identifiers for the research world, and FREYA's increased involvement in the Research Data Alliance (RDA) with the formation of the Open Science Graphs for FAIR Data Interest Group. We also describe how we increased the focus of our engagement activities even more towards collaboration with the Horizon 2020 projects forming the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), including EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE Advance. We provide an overview of FREYA's presentations and workshops at events, including descriptions of highlighted events, as well as our engagement activities via online channels including PIDForum.org, the FREYA project website, Twitter, and webinars. Furthermore, the report discusses how we engaged with key stakeholder groups, in particular the EOSC projects and the RDA, and describes the developments in FREYA's Ambassador Programme. The report concludes with an overview of future plans for the final year of the PID Forum.
