TU Delft Library is delighted that the recent announcement from the Open Science NL infrastructure call includes 11 projects that it is involved in.
Here is a short summary (the acronyms in brackets refer to the library team involved)
Enabling FAIR for AI
This project aims to make research data and software easier to reuse and reproduce, especially in AI. 4TU lead with NL eScience Center, Nikhef & University of Twente (4TU, Lead)
Yoda as connecting infrastructure for seamless open science
This project will improve the Yoda system to better connect with other research infrastructures, such as 4TU.ResearchData. VU/WUR lead with a large consortium including 4TU.ResearchData in a work package to exchange data and metadata with national public repositories (4TU)
Towards a community-driven and sustainable Research Software Directory (RSD):
This project proposes to expand the RSD with a peer-review mechanism for software, improve curation support for communities and organisations, and linking to ready-to-run cloud instances and reproducibility packages to stimulate software re-use. NL eScience Centre lead with 4TU.ResearchData (4TU)
GeoFAIR: Optimizing use of high impact geoscientific data by linking to available international research infrastructure
GeoFAIR will improve the impact of Dutch Earth scientific data on global research by integrating existing digital resources into a coherent Open Science infrastructure, to support Earth scientific research globally. Utrecht lead with VU & DANS (4TU.ResearchData)
Dutch Repository Federation (DURF)
DURF envisions building a strong open infrastructure with our repositories and current research information systems (CRIS) to strengthen the (inter)national infrastructure. (RI, SCP)

BROCCOLI
BROCCOLI—the Dutch hub for healthy open research information—aims to bring accessible, reliable, and reusable data on Dutch research actors, activities, and outputs into a unified, open infrastructure. (RI, SCP)

Diamond Open Access
Infrastructures for Diamond Open Access plans to set up a high-quality and flexible national publication infrastructure that can be made available to all university presses, research institutes, and other research organisations that wish to develop and publish their own articles, journals and (text)books. (SCP)
Implementing a joint metadata management system for books
Implementing a joint metadata management system to enable joint outputs and services in partnership with Open Access Book infrastructure services. (SCP)
National Open Access Books Platform
This project will deliver a platform for the publication of academic open access books, OAbooks.nl, managed by the Dutch academic community. (SCP)
Next-generation publishing: Advancing the publish-review-curate model
This project accelerates the transition to open science by enabling Dutch research communities to implement and adopt the publish-review-curate (PRC) model for open scholarly communication. (SCP)
Open-source Hardware Infrastructure for The Netherlands (OSHNED)
The goal of this project is to integrate successful open-hardware initiatives in the Netherlands into a robust infrastructure (OSHNED) through national coordination. (OS team)
Project led by TU Delft faculties
* “Better integration with Python” – A project from Adam Kewley at Biomechanical Engineering
* “More openness in software for orbit calculations” – A project led by Dominic Dirkx at AE, in which the Digital Competence Centre was a co-applicant and will be a collaborator.
