Overview

The UK ORCID consortium is running a webinar to promote ORCID more widely across the UK. It is open to all, so you do not need to be a member of the consortium to attend. Find out why getting a free ORCID iD and populating your ORCID record is key for researchers to get credit for their work. ORCID is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. Obtaining an ORCID iD and populating your profile helps achieve the vision where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.

Your ORCID iD and profile can help you save time and get credit for your work in funding, publishing, and research reporting workflows. Funding organisations, publishers, and research institutions are increasingly requiring or asking for ORCID iDs from researchers.
