Events on Campus
Introduction to ORCID
ORCID is a widely recognized unique identifier that researchers and authors own and control. Anyone involved in research, scholarship, or innovation can register for an ORCID iD at no cost and use the same iD throughout their entire career -- even if your name changes or if you transition to a different organization, discipline, or country. Learn the benefits of having an ORCID iD and how to quickly create one for yourself.

Most importantly, you will discover how to manage your copyright and other intellectual property rights while engaging in open science practices.
