euroCRIS, the international not-for-profit association of research information management and its associated systems, welcomes and supports the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. euroCRIS encourages not only its members but also other institutions that produce research information to take up and implement the Declaration. This initiative contributes to further international cooperation and knowledge-sharing across the research information community and to increased levels of openness, transparency, standardisation, and interoperability of research information and related infrastructures.
