Nominations are open for the ORCID Researcher Advisory Council (ORAC), and GYA members and alumni are invited to apply. GYA members have served on ORAC since its founding. ORAC was established in 2021 to ensure that the researcher community remains central to everything done at ORCID. The Council is a diverse group of researchers who provide perspectives and advice to the ORCID board and staff. This ensures that ORCID continues to deliver value and utility to researchers and supports the advancement of research and innovation.
