Empowering European Coastal Urban Research: The EU-CONEXUS OpenAIRE Gateway
In May, the European University Alliance EU-CONEXUS forged a partnership with OpenAIRE. This partnership opens the gateway to a treasure of knowledge, accessible through the EU-CONEXUS OpenAIRE Gateway. Researchers and a wider scientific community now have an invaluable opportunity to delve into extensive research outputs focusing on urban and semi-urban coastal areas.
The EU-CONEXUS OpenAIRE Gateway is positioned to play a pivotal role in advancing visibility and collaboration not only within the EU-CONEXUS research community, spanning nine European countries, but also a wider research ecosystem.This heightened visibility generates tangible benefits for all stakeholders involved, facilitating seamless knowledge sharing and amplifying the overall impact of research endeavours.
“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
“Our collaboration with EU-CONEXUS opens up exciting opportunities for OpenAIRE, granting us access to invaluable knowledge and extensive research outputs dedicated to coastal urban areas.”

The OpenAIRE e-infrastructure empowers researchers to actively engage in Open Science practices, ensuring transparent and responsive research outcomes that align with the ever-changing needs of both the research community and society, with the help of OpenAIRE’s tools and services. The collaboration with EU-CONEXUS exemplifies yet another remarkable win-win situation, further enhancing the benefits for all parties involved.
At present, the Gateway offers, via the OpenAIRE Connect service, access to a rich and comprehensive collection of resources, including 60,000 publications, 224 research projects, 4,000 research datasets, and over 1,000 additional research products from EU-CONEXUS research teams.
