Managing Your Digital Identity as a Researcher with ORCID

  • Category: Open Science Webinar
  • Dates: April 14, 2026
  • Hours: From 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Location: Online

ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier, is an international system that allows researchers to create a unique and permanent digital identifier (ORCID ID) to unambiguously identify them. The ORCID profile has thus become an essential part of a researcher’s digital identity and accompanies them throughout their career. TheUM is also launching a campaign to encourage the creation and maintenance of ORCID IDs by offering to certify its researchers’ accounts.
Following a brief theoretical introduction, this webinar will demonstrate how to create an ORCID ID and set up a profile by leveraging interoperability with databases (HAL, Crossref, etc.) to enrich one’s list of publications. 

The Open Science team at theUM is continuing its webinar series in 2026.

These webinars cover various topics related to Open Science (digital identity, open-access publications, etc.)

They take place every other Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and include a presentation and a discussion period.

These webinars will then be posted on the UM YouTube channel, in the “Open Science” playlist.
