Abstract

The launch of Open Repositories Ireland (ORI) marks a significant milestone in Ireland's open research infrastructure, providing a sustainable, collaborative framework for repository development and preservation. ORI aims to address key challenges in the Irish repository landscape, such as fragmented metadata practices, staffing shortages, and the lack of preservation strategies. By aligning Irish repositories with international standards like OpenAIRE and Plan S, ORI seeks to make Irish research more visible and accessible globally. This talk will detail the role of ORI in promoting sustainable governance, training, and metadata alignment, ensuring long-term accessibility and preservation of repository content. The presentation will highlight lessons learned from the NORF Open Access Repository Project and provide practical insights for other countries and institutions aiming to strengthen their repository networks.
