Join Crossref and Europe PMC so we can bring you up to speed on why we’re working together with funders to register grant metadata and create global identifiers for grants. *Spoiler alert* connecting grant information and persistent identifiers with research outputs will help researchers, funders, publishers and institutions easily see the outputs that result from individual grants. It makes grant metadata openly available to help identify connections between projects and collaborators. And will avoid duplication of effort in reporting and overlapping grants or repeated projects. Europe PMC were early adopters, registering grants for Wellcome since 2019, and have since been joined by a growing number of other organizations as this initiative scales up. Come along to our session to find out what our plans are and see grant metadata in action in our funding flashmob!
