This presentation will provide an overview of the main results of the GraspOS project and their expected impact. Particular emphasis will be placed on the GraspOS infrastructure, a platform designed to support responsible research assessment (RRA) with a strong focus on recognising Open Science practices. In recent years, numerous valuable resources, such as datasets, tools, services, templates, and guidelines, have been developed to facilitate RRA. However, their discovery and use remain challenging, as their relevance often depends on specific contexts, values, and priorities of each assessment exercise. GraspOS addresses this challenge by making such resources FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and more easily discoverable.
