Closing the Gap: Roadmap to Global PID Adoption and Equity
Ana Cardoso, Ana Heredia, Lombe Tembo
Do you struggle to implement persistent identifiers (PIDs) in regions with limited infrastructure or financial constraints? While 11 million researchers have ORCID iDs, institutional integration and collaboration with trust markers remain uneven, particularly in the Global South. In this session, you will discover how ORCID works to overcome systemic barriers and implement successful, community-led solutions that promote Open Science and FAIR principles.
You will explore real-world strategies for navigating technical gaps, fee structures, and linguistic hurdles that often exclude communities in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
By the end of this session, you will:
- Have resources to enhance a "community of practice" in your country or region.
- Discover how to utilise the Membership Equity Program (MEP) and strategic grants to jumpstart integrations and community building in low and lower-middle-income countries.
- Identify how you can help adapt global models to be inclusive and equitable for underrepresented regions.
