Open data infrastructure refers to the systems, frameworks, and processes put in place to collect, store, manage, and share data generated or held by government, science, and other public institutions. It is meant to ensure that public data is accessible, high-quality, secure, and usable by a wide range of stakeholders, including the public. For more

Abstract: Since the release of ChatGPT and other generative AI applications, research institutions as well as various stakeholders such as research funders and publishers have been discussing how the use of AI in research should be dealt with from the perspective of research integrity. While a consensus on some matters was quickly reached, other issues

Abstract: We explore how neuro-symbolic AI, i.e., combining neural networks with symbolic knowledge representation, can drive the next generation of open, transparent, and responsible scientific research. By combining the adaptability of machine learning with the interpretability of structured knowledge, neuro-symbolic approaches offer powerful tools for enhancing reproducibility, semantic interoperability, and trust in AI-driven science.
