DSpace
Mission
Key Achievements
The major goal achieved in 2023 was the release of DSpace 7.6 release, the final 7.x release to include new features. The 7.x platform will now move into maintenance mode as we focus on 8.0.
The release was made possible by generous financial contributions and nearly 2000 hours of development.
In 2023, DSpace also organised 3 different Q&A online meetings, attended by hundreds of global users who were able to find the answers they were looking for about the latest releases. In addition to that, DSpace organised a hybrid in-person/online workshop for the Spanish-speaking community, which has already been viewed by over 2000 people.
