For alliances or networks consisting of multiple organizations, CONNECT serves as a unified entry point to consolidate and showcase all research outcomes.

Unified Access: Aggregate outputs from all alliance members into one easily accessible platform.
Collaboration Made Easy: Facilitate collaboration among members by providing a shared space for their research.
Visibility: Enhance the alliance’s collective visibility by presenting a comprehensive view of its research contributions to the broader community.

CONNECT is ideal for research communities and projects focused on specific topics, enabling them to create personalized gateways for their outputs.

Topic-Specific Gateways: Tailor portals to highlight research outputs, tools, and practices related to a particular theme or discipline.
Peer Sharing: Share curated content with peers to encourage collaboration and foster knowledge exchange.
Targeted Discoverability: Ensure the relevance of outputs by aligning with the community’s focus areas.

Research infrastructures can leverage CONNECT to improve the visibility and usability of their research outputs while streamlining internal processes.

Enhanced Discovery: Boost the discoverability of resources within their domain to support their user base.
Showcasing Impact: Use the gateway to demonstrate the infrastructure’s contribution to advancing research and its societal impact.
Streamlined Reporting: Simplify reporting for funders or stakeholders by consolidating key metrics and outputs in one place.

EU CONEXUS
The European University for Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability

“Through the EU-CONEXUS OpenAIRE Gateway, the whole spectrum of EU-CONEXUS research is accessible to a broad community through a single access window without searching for it at individual partner institutions. In addition, it is a perfect tool for the EU-CONEXUS research community to discover their mutual strengths and complementaries more easily.”

Udo Kragl, Chair of the EU-CONEXUS Research Council

OpenAIRE NOAD,
in Finland

"Enter Navigating and finding the right research resources is a major challenge for researchers. OpenAIRE CONNECT, powered by OpenAIRE Graph, which provides a comprehensive set of high-quality metadata, is a great tool for researchers and other stakeholders. The metadata links seamlessly guide you to the primary sources. During the treasure hunt, we utilized Gateways from DARIAH and the UArctic Network to complete our quests. This practical exercise demonstrated how CONNECT can streamline research and enhance accessibility."
