LYRASIS + DuraSpace: what’s next after the merger

Abstract

In July 2019 LYRASIS and DuraSpace merged to leverage its expertise, reach, and capacity to work with community-led programs, services and technologies that enable durable, persistent access to data and services.

The newly merged organization has a worldwide collaborative community of more than 4,000 institutions and ten open source, community-supported technology programs across six continents. In addition, it is committed to build capacity in the scholarly ecosystem through open technologies, services, funding opportunities, expertise, training, and support.

DuraSpace has been a Strategic Partner of euroCRIS for a few years now, organizing joint events and trying to bridge the repository and the CRIS community. As LYRASIS is new to this landscape, this presentation will be an opportunity to learn more about a “new, old” strategic partner.
