A strong network of repositories is essential for safeguarding Europe’s research output and driving scientific excellence across the continent. In March 2025, LIBER, OpenAIRE, SPARC Europe, and COAR launched IMPACT-REPO, a joint plan to promote the vital position of open access repositories in Europe’s research landscape. The plan outlines four key dimensions in which repositories contribute—boosting research impact, fostering inclusiveness, building trust, and supporting innovation. Most repositories are hosted and maintained by libraries. As open science continues to expand, managing repositories will become a greater priority for library services. Join LIBER’s Open Access Working Group in a dynamic discussion on how libraries are shaping the future of repositories—and discover the emerging roles they play in the open science ecosystem.
