Open Research Digest, May 2025
The latest edition of the Open Research Digest is now available.
This month’s issue features a thought piece on open executable books for robotics from Open Research Fellow Murilo Marinho, including the motivations and challenges of this ambitious project, plans for future developments, and information on how researchers, educators and students can get involved.
In addition to news and events from around campus and beyond, we highlight our latest Open Research Spotlight, which features Dr. Ramiro Bravo reflecting on the use of Protocols.io in research data management within core facilities. You can also read Dr. Tristan Martin’s reflections on the latest Opening Up Research event on Open Data, and find out about the next Research Data Conversations event on 18 June.
Finally, it’s your last chance to register for The University of Manchester's Open Research Conference 2025, taking place on Monday, 9 and Tuesday, 10 June at Alliance Manchester Business School. The Digest includes information on our keynote speakers and fantastic programme, and how to book your place.
