Open Insight Sessions: One Year with the Irish Monitor - Future Pathways & Community Insights

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.

This concluding session of the Open Insights series reflects on the pilot phase of the Irish National Open Access Monitor and opens the floor to discuss its future. Guest contributors include Jessica Catalano (CSIL) from PathOS, a Horizon Europe project focused on understanding and measuring the impacts of Open Science, and Iain Hrynaszkiewicz (PLOS) from OSMI, an international initiative working toward a common framework for Open Science monitoring. Together, we will explore how monitoring can become more meaningful, sustainable, and actionable for institutions, funders, and policymakers in Ireland.
