Rachel Bruce, Head of Open Research (UKRI) reflects on the long road of repositories since the 1999 Santé Fe work that led to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrints, what has persisted, and what still needs to be done. UKRI starting to examine what their contribution can be now to drive improvements.

´We have to accept that we’re in a state of war with state and non-state actors’ and consider what this may mean for research funding in future, dual use posture will be important going forward. Opposition political party has stated they will cut UKRI funding by £2Bn and put into closed drone research

Now a presentation from the National Protective Security Authority on Trusted Research Environments, collaborate safety is key message: https://www.npsa.gov.uk/specialised-guidance/trusted-research

Interesting results on power of depositing research outputs in repositories across different publishing approaches based on analysis carried out by University of Liverpool

Kathleen Shearer from @coar_repositories@mastodon.social setting the scene, and suggests that repositories now well placed to drive data driven research even with issues raised by recent AI trends and related mitigations in different regions of the world, importance of research availability cross border.
