    • What questions does DCAT have? Would DCAT like to learn more about DSpace-CRIS?
      • Need to understand what this change would mean for day-to-day usage
      • Entities are important; need to be able to export data, and need more sophisticated statistics (reason for being interested in DSpace-CRIS)
        
        • Many European entities are contributing to both DSpace and DSpace-CRIS, and for them, a merger feels more effective.
      • What CRIS is since many orgs don't use DSpace CRIS. What aspects of CRIS will be included in the merger, should it happen?
      • Whether 4Science is still going to be active in the development of the new merged DSpace.
  • Theme for 2024-2025
    • DCAT will propose a theme for 2024-2025; 2023-2024 theme was "Community Engagement"
