 Democratising and making sense out of heterogenous scholarly content 

‍Welcome to the 1st SciLake Newsletter

SciLake at a glance

SciLake aims to establish the concept of scientific lake, a research ecosystem with OpenAIRE Graph in its core, where scientific knowledge is contextualised, interconnected, interoperable, and accessible by addressing the challenges associated with the heterogeneity and the large interconnectivity of the underlying data.


- Our services -


‍The project will produce a set of novel services to build and search SKGs.​

‍Scientific Lake as a service

Smart reproducibility assistant service

Smart impact discovery service


- Our team -


‍SciLake brings together an interdisciplinary team of 13 partners from 9 European countries, 11 research and 2 industry partners, 8 technology providers, and 5 members of research communities from neuroscience, cancer, transportation, and energy.​

- Workshop at OSFAIR, Madrid 25-27 September 2023 -

‍SciLake will be at the Open Science Fair (OS FAIR) 2023. Our members will participate in the workshop "Open Science Knowledge Graphs (SKGs): Transforming the Way we Manage, Explore, and Analyze Scientific Knowledge", presenting the mission of building a comprehensive scholarly communication graph and the proposed technical solutions. It will be an excellent opportunity to explore potential areas of cooperation and common goals with ESFRI's research communities and hear about their ongoing work to create and maintain domain-specific SKGs and their current challenges.


- 2nd Project plenary meeting -

The next plenary consortium meeting will take place in Barcelona on 9-10 November, hosted by the SIRIS team. The event is open to all project members and will be an opportunity to share the results of the first year and plan the next steps.
