U okviru projekta NI4OS-Europe (National Initiatives for Open Science in Europe) od 30. studenog – 1. prosinca 2022. održava se radionica (hackaton) pod naslovom “Hands-on workshop: Touching on Data and Open-Source Software for Open Science”. Tema radionice su otvoreni istraživački podaci i softver otvorenog koda. Radionica je hibridnog tipa (on-line i on-site) u organizaciji Računarskog centra Sveučilišta u Beogradu (RCUB), Sveučilišnog računskog centra Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (SRCE) te Instituta Ruđer Bošković (IRB) i održava se istovremeno na više lokacija. u Srbiji i Hrvatskoj

At first glance, it seems as though progress was made towards opening up datasets for research purposes. Research funders increased support open data management standards and FAIR principles, more and more journals require the posting of foundational research data as appendices at the end of published papers. Datasets areare assigned DOIs to ensure they are always easily discoverable, and such citation methods also boost researchers' impact.

However, in reality it's a different picture. The global science evaluation system does not (yet) value publicly available data as it does articles in journals or books, which can potentially not only slow down but also completely halt the "open data revolution".
