Topics

This webinar series zooms in on the global implementation of ORCID by spotlighting regional achievements and local leadership. Each session offers a deep dive into the specific challenges, policies, and on-the-ground successes driven by researchers, institutions, and more around the globe. Join us to discover how ORCID is being strategically adopted around the world to bridge the gap between local research and global visibility.

Our inaugural session sets the stage for the African continent. We aren’t just talking about a 16-digit ID; we are talking about a catalyst for African research visibility. In this session, we will demystify what ORCID is—and just as importantly, what it isn’t—while exploring how it fits into the unique African research ecosystem.

Join us as we hear from the regional pioneers who are building the infrastructure and communities that connect local scholarship to the global stage.

In this session, we will cover:

• ORCID 101: A clear look at the functionality and the myths of the identifier.
• Ecosystem Integration: How ORCID interacts with national repositories, publishers, and local funding bodies.
• The Power of Consortia: Insights into how collective action is reducing barriers to entry for African institutions.
