The report "MS 3.8 Technical EOSC PID Implementation Guide & Program" delivers a practical framework to help organisations implement Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) in accordance with EOSC policies and core solutions.
Through a comprehensive set of detailed infographics, the report presents actionable guidance for integrating PIDs into existing workflows.
National Initiatives
This visualisation outlines the key steps and considerations for country-level implementation of PID infrastructure, helping national bodies establish consistentPID policy, strategy or set of recommendations

Research Institutions
This guide helps institutions maintain persistent identifiers that connect research entities - such as handles for datasets, DOIs for publications, and ORCIDs for researchers. As "PID managers," institutions must ensure these identifiers remain accurately linked to their referenced objects. Drawing from established guidelines (R14), this document outlines the essential requirements for effective PID management.
