Projects

AIRDEC

The Navigation Fund, 2025 - 2027

The project will transform how research outputs are deposited and curated by integrating AI-powered automation into Zenodo, the CERN Document Server (CDS), and other InvenioRDM-based repositories. Its goal is to make deposit and curation:

• Scalable, cost-effective, and low-burden, keeping pace with growing open science outputs
• AI-assisted and human-supervised, combining automation with human-in-the-loop transparency
• High-quality and FAIR-aligned, ensuring trusted, machine-actionable metadata

EVERSE

European Commission, 2024 - 2027

The EVERSE project aims to create a framework for research software and code excellence, collaboratively designed and championed by the research communities, in pursuit of building a European network of Research Software Quality and setting the foundations of a future Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence.

GREI

US National Institutes of Health (NIH), 2022 - 2026

GREI’s mission is twofold.

The primary mission is to establish a common set of cohesive and consistent capabilities, services, metrics, and social infrastructure across various generalist repositories.

Secondarily, GREI will raise general awareness and help researchers to adopt FAIR principles to better share and reuse data.

HORIZON-ZEN+

European Commission, 2025 - 2027

The HORIZON-ZEN+ project aims to advance the EU Open Research Repository (EOR Repository) on Zenodo, a key enabler of the European Commission’s Open Science policy. Building on the success of the HORIZON-ZEN project (2023–2025), HORIZON-ZEN+ enhances the repository’s ability to support FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and AI-ready research outputs. The project addresses two strategic challenges: enabling cost-effective, scalable data curation, and facilitating the discovery and reuse of high-quality datasets across disciplines for AI applications.

BiCIKL

European Commission, 2021 - 2024

BiCIKL will catalyse a culture change in the way biodiversity data is identified, linked, integrated and re-used across the research cycle. We will cultivate a more transparent, trustworthy and efficient research ecosystem.

Zenodo's role in BiCIKL is to provide long-term virtual access to data liberated from scientific literature, as well as to the data liberated through transnational access. In addition, Zenodo will participate in the work to liberate, enhance, manage and distribute data from literature via automated workflow for article import and enhanced tools and services for data liberation and access.

Biodiversity Literature Repository

Arcadia Fund, 2022 - 2025

The grant will help build on the momentum created in the first Arcadia supported project (years 2018-2021) by: (1) leading the data extraction effort and building a critical mass of FAIR scientific data and related tools involving the community; and (2) establishing a long lasting, self-sustaining research infrastructure.

FAIRCORE4EOSC

European Commission, 2022 - 2025

The FAIRCORE4EOSC project focuses on the development and realisation of core components for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The project will develop nine new EOSC-Core components aimed to improve the discoverability and interoperability of an increased amount of research outputs.

Zenodo participates in the development of the EOSC Research Software APIs & Connectors, in particular the integration of Zenodo/InvenioRDM with Software Heritage.

HORIZON-ZEN

European Commission, 2023 - 2025

HORIZON-ZEN will help the EC's research programme beneficiaries comply with the FAIR and open science requirements of Horizon Europe by implementing an easy go-to solution in Zenodo.

The project will specifically:

• develop an enhanced Zenodo-community with EC-branding
• develop and implement a data curation framework
• implement FAIR principles enablers in the Zenodo deposit workflow
• use a community-driven methodology involving early adopters and Zenodo/InvenioRDM users and partners.
