On 3 December 2025, CORE (COnnecting REpositories) hosted the latest live training session in our webinar series, Become a Professional User of the CORE Dashboard. We extend our sincere thanks to the many participants who joined us from across Europe, Africa, the United States and beyond. The high level of attendance and engagement was truly encouraging, bringing together a diverse group of repository managers, research support teams, journal editors and open access practitioners.
The session, led by Prof. Petr Knoth (Founder & Head of CORE) and Catherine Kuliavets (Community & Relationship Manager), offered a comprehensive walkthrough of the Dashboard. We explored critical features designed to support the research lifecycle, including discoverability tools, indexing monitoring, metadata validation, and our evolving suite of Open Access and FAIR compliance modules.
