[Amanda French]

Hi all, 

Release 2.2 of the ROR registry is now available! This release adds 1054 records (!) and updates 1128 records (!!), bringing the total number of active, inactive, and withdrawn records in ROR to 121920. As always, new and updated records are immediately available in the ROR API and can be downloaded from Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17178491. 

Have you registered for next week's ROR Annual Community Meeting? Note especially if you're in the Asia-Pacific region that we're holding a session on the role of ROR in the national research strategies of Japan, Australia, and Korea at an APAC-friendly time. Here are the sessions:

- ROR Community Update, February 3, 4pm UTC - The ROR team reflects on where ROR is now in the seventh annual "state of ROR" session. 

- ROR Community Drop-in, February 3, 5pm UTC - Hang around on the Zoom after the Community Update for an unrecorded informal chat with the ROR team!

- How ROR Can Help Research Funders, February 4, 4pm UTC - In this session, we’ll hear three presentations on how the use of ROR can help funders track their impact. Speakers include Hans de Jonge of the Dutch Research Council (NWO), Ana Van Gulick of Digital Science and Ishwahar Chandramouliswaran of the US NIH, and Ami Gala of Altum.  

- The Role of ROR in National Research Strategies, February 5, 1am UTC (February 4 in EMEA time zones) - In this session, we’ll learn why ROR is a priority for national-level research information entities in Japan, Australia, and Korea. Speakers include Kazuhiro Hayashi of NISTEP, Clare Nulley-Valdes of ARC, and Jungwoo Lee of KISTI. 

Cheers,
