The Invenio framework, developed by CERN, has long supported research resources and scholarly outputs. The current form, InvenioRDM, is a next-generation, sustainable, modular, turnkey repository and research data management platform supporting FAIR practices, research transparency, and discovery of a wide range of research outputs. Both the back-end of Zenodo.org and a free, community-supported open source software, InvenioRDM meets user needs by employing powerful search features, DataCite metadata fields, ORCiD- and ROR-enhanced creator and contributor fields, and much more. Partners in this project include developers, librarians, administrators, and other professionals in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.

This InvenioRDM workshop will introduce repository managers, developers, system/software administrators, decision makers, and librarians both to the open source repository framework and the inclusive and collaborative international community supporting it. After learning about the latest development updates from CERN and from key partner contributors, participants will have the chance to interact with these experts to ask questions, try real-time customizations, and learn more about code and community support contributions. Those needing IR and data repository solutions will learn more about maintaining and customizing their instances, and how to build and sustain active collaboration with a robust and growing open source repository community.
