Session
When the National PID Centre at the National Library of Technology launched in January 2023, awareness of PIDs in the Czech Republic was still relatively low, and many relevant stakeholders across the research community did not yet recognize their practical value. Looking back at the three years of raising awareness and supporting the adoption of PIDs in the Czech research environment, you can learn what worked in the development of centralized PID support services. More importantly, you might benefit from the challenges the Czech PID Centre has encountered and, in some cases, continues to deal with. While some of these are specific to the Czech context, key lessons learned from, e.g, operating the national ORCID and DOI consortia along with insights from conducting a cost-benefit analysis as well as a national PID adoption survey can offer valuable inspiration - or a cautionary tale - applicable to your local context.
