About
The first Swiss Open Academic Data (SOAD) Day brought together researchers, data scientists, and practitioners from across Switzerland to explore the potential and challenges of open academic data. The programme featured lightning talks and workshops with speakers from ETH Zurich, EPFL, the University of Zurich, TU Wien, SNF, Lib4RI, Crossref, and other institutions, presenting tools, applied methods, and innovative use cases around platforms such as OpenAlex, OpenAIRE, ORCID, and Crossref.
NAIF contributed a lightning talk titled “Enhancing Open Academic Data through the NAIF Project,” presented by Pascale Bouton, Jorge Rodrigues de Matos, and Julien Sicot (EPFL) together with Simon Willemin (ETH Zurich). The talk introduced Track 4 of the NAIF project, focusing on the enhancement of national and global academic data across four dimensions: organizational data, authorship data, funding data, and open access information. The presentation highlighted open questions and tasks that require collective effort across Swiss institutions.
