Aligned with the principles of the Barcelona Declaration on open research information, the proposed Modular Open Research Information System (MORIS) strengthens digital sovereignty by allowing institutions to control their own research information, reducing dependency on proprietary platforms that may limit transparency and result in black-box decision-making. Focusing on projects, MORIS integrates information from existing components using open standards, enabling alignment across institutions and facilitating efficient information exchange relevant to research, education, and industry. This modular approach respects institutional differences and provides a customizable, scalable solution for institutions of varying sizes, as each institution can integrate the modules that they deem relevant provided they adhere to the community standards.

In this current phase we are working with the community to prioritize their needs in terms of information for reporting, steering, and visibility. In this interactive session we need your input to start the prioritizing process with regards to what the needed modules (e.g. a grant module, a project module, a researcher/affiliation module) are. Also, we want to hear from you, the different stakeholders (researchers, research managers, data stewards) and different types of institutions (UASs or University) about how you would like to interact with MORIS.
