PIDfest, jointly organized by NTK and ARDC, was held from June 11 -13 in Prague. The event brought together persistent identifier (PID) advocates, users, and leaders from around the world to solve real-world infrastructure challenges to accelerate research and innovation. DataCite was well represented during the event with presentations by our staff, members and partners.

On June 10, 2024, we hosted the DataCite Connect Prague event, collocated with PIDfest. We are happy that 40 community members joined us to discuss how we can collectively make the most of metadata. Bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the event facilitated presentations and offered space for lively discussions.

‘If you want to create good and tasty food, then you must have love and respect for the person who will consume it’. This was the key message that the DataCite Team was taught when learning to cook Moroccan food at our recent retreat, and one that is pertinent to not only serving guests in your home but also for DataCite when developing services for the community.
