The DataCite Connect event in Gothenburg provides a forum for discussion and networking for DataCite members and the broader community. The session will focus on national PID and Open Research strategies and how the DataCite community can engage in, contribute to, and support their implementation. Participants will learn about ongoing efforts across different regions and will have the chance to work together to identify and discuss alignments between national strategies and their current/future plans that leverage the DataCite infrastructure and services. The outcomes of the meeting will help DataCite members and the community to understand the PID landscape in other regions better, connect with PID champions, and establish new collaborations. There will be plenty of time for Q&A! This event is co-located with the Research Data Alliance 20th Plenary Meeting, 21-23 March 2023, Gothenburg, Sweden, hosted by Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish National Data Service (SND). In their presentation, Madeleine de Smaele and Gül Akcaova discuss the topic of a national PID strategy in the Netherlands.
