Abstract

This poster presents OPERAS-HR, the Croatian OPERAS National node, with its main objectives and activities. Main objectives for the OPERAS-HR Node include: 1. communicating OPERAS ideas and services to the Croatian community; 2. strengthening collaboration with the established research infrastructures (ERICs) in Croatia: DARIAH-HR, CLARIN-HR, CROSSDA, OpenAIRE Nod and 3. identifying and including more members within the Croatian universities, university publishers, libraries, institutes, and learned societies in the OPERAS-HR community. OPERAS-HR is coordinated by the University of Zadar, and has established a website, mailing list, and LinkedIn account, but mainly operates via collaboration with Croatian ordinary members: SRCE, Library of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, and the National and University Library in Zagreb. The latest focus of our work is on establishing the Croatian Centre for Diamond Open Access.
