The 16th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems (CRIS2024) took place at the TU Wien from May 15 to 17, 2024.

RIS Synergy is one of the user-centric case studies discussed in the FAIRECORE4EOSC podcast episode about the European Integration of National-Level Services. We talk about concrete use cases, persistent identifiers, some of the technical challenges faced by the CRIS community, and more.
