The Link

This issue highlights how research systems are adapting to new pressures, from digital lab innovation and global trial developments to evolving open data behaviours. Explore analysis, insights and tools that help organisations meet changing needs and build resilient, forward‑looking research support.

The 2025 State of Open Data report

Can technology push openness forward?

Ten years of insights highlight both meaningful progress and enduring challenges in open data. Researchers are increasingly familiar with FAIR principles, yet still face recognition, mandate and infrastructure gaps. This long-term perspective shows what research communities need to advance openness and how emerging tools may help overcome barriers that policy alone has not resolved.
