Introduction to the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD)

Annotation: This webinar will introduce RAiD (Research Activity Identifier), a global persistent identifier designed to uniquely identify research projects and activities throughout their entire lifecycle. Participants will learn how RAiD connects information about projects, researchers, institutions, funding, datasets, publications, and other research outputs by linking existing persistent identifiers such as DOI, ORCID, and ROR. 

Benefits for participants: The webinar will present the key benefits of RAiD for research organisations, infrastructure providers, research funders, and research teams. It will explore how RAiD can support more efficient management of project information, enhance research transparency, and contribute to the development of an interconnected ecosystem of persistent identifiers. The session will also provide an overview of the current international development of the RAiD service and its implementation across the European and global research landscape.

Level: Beginner, intermediate, advanced

Language: English

Prerequisites: A basic understanding of persistent identifiers and an interest in open science.

Tutors: Matthias Liffers , Marek Cebecauer , David Novák
