Our Service Topics
Our work centres on four connected topics: managing research data well, opening science up, keeping digital assets sustainable, and using AI responsibly.
Research Data Management
Well-managed research data is the backbone of reliable, reproducible research in academia and industry alike. It increases the value, accessibility and longevity of your work, and keeps you compliant with regulations and funder requirements.
We support you along the entire data lifecycle: from FAIR-compliant data management plans, as required by funders, to an RDM framework tailored to your team, project or organisation. We also train your staff on current RDM topics.
Open Science
Open Science opens up how scientific knowledge is created, evaluated and shared. Adopting it increases your research impact and meets the growing expectations of funders and institutions. However, it also demands care: ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and compliance with legislation such as the GDPR and best practices such as the CARE principles.
We help you create institutional Open Science and Open Research Data policies, and guide your transition with practical strategies for sharing your work effectively and responsibly.
Digital Sustainability
Digital sustainability is about more than just preserving data. It means creating digital assets that keep their value: well documented, openly accessible where possible, machine-readable, and reusable beyond the project they were made for. Preservation is part of it. So are quality, transparency and open formats.
We help you align your digital strategy with your sustainability goals, thus helping to create an infrastructure that is efficient and resilient, and digital operations with a smaller environmental footprint.
AI Literacy & Responsible AI
AI is changing how research is done, taught and published. It also raises real questions about ethics, quality, transparency and resource use. Institutions need the competence to judge where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn't, and under which conditions its use is responsible. That competence is what AI literacy means, and the EU AI Act now requires it of organisations deploying AI.
We offer AI literacy workshops for libraries, universities and public bodies, and advise on institutional AI guidelines: critical, evidence-based and vendor-independent, informed by our work in the LIBER AI Taskforce.

„I attended the AI Literacy for Academic Authors workshop taught by Dr. Ana Petrus to UNAM faculty and students. This was an amazing workshop where I learned a lot in just 4 h. I really appreciate Dr. Petrus sharing her deep knowledge with the UNAM community and highly recommend taking classes with her.”
