Open Insight Sessions: One Year with the Irish Monitor - Monitor Challenges & Usability

The Open Insight Sessions series is designed to deepen community engagement with the Irish Monitor, strengthen institutional adoption, and gather valuable user feedback. Across five monthly sessions, we’ll review achievements, address data quality, explore collaborative potential, and create opportunities for institutions to share their experiences. These sessions aim to build a robust, sustainable foundation for the Monitor. Each session begins with a short webinar (20-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A), followed by a 30-minute interactive segment where attendees can participate in hands-on activities and discussions. Presentations and recordings from each session will be posted on Zenodo and subsequently shared on the Irish Monitor engagement and training page. Session Description: This interactive session will explore the usability and integration of the Irish Open Access Monitor from an institutional perspective. We will start with a short demo of key functionalities, followed by insights from Maynooth University on its institutional use, challenges, and future expectations. A live discussion will gather feedback from attendees to pinpoint key barriers and improvements needed to enhance the Monitor’s impact.Presenters: Fran Callaghan, Head of Digital Publishing & Data Services, Maynooth UniversityIoanna Grypari, Monitor & Indicators Lead, OpenAIRESession Agenda: Introduction RPO Dashboard Demo - A live walkthrough of key functionalities and discussion on their usefulness.
