Open Insight Sessions: One Year with the Irish Monitor - Strengthening Collaboration: Monitor & Repository Integration

The Open Insight Sessions series is designed to deepen community engagement with the Irish Monitor, strengthen institutional adoption, and gather valuable user feedback. Across five monthly sessions, we’ll review achievements, address data quality, explore collaborative potential, and create opportunities for institutions to share their experiences. These sessions aim to build a robust, sustainable foundation for the Monitor. Each session begins with a short webinar (20-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A), followed by a 30-minute interactive segment where attendees can participate in hands-on activities and discussions. Presentations and recordings from each session will be posted on Zenodo and subsequently shared on the Irish Monitor engagement and training page (https://oamonitor.ireland.openaire.eu/engagement-training).
