While institutional repositories hold valuable content, their metadata are often fragmented and heterogeneous, hence limiting the ability to track, connect, and reuse research information. This presentation specifically focuses on Track 4 of NAIF, dedicated to the enhancement of national and global academic data. The focus is on four critical dimensions: organizational data, authorship data, funding data, and open access information. Key challenges include standardizing organizational structures and units, ensuring reliable researcher identifiers, linking publications to funding, and capturing accurate open access metadata. Rather than providing ready-made solutions, the session highlights open questions and tasks that require collective effort. The goal is to identify good practices locally, scale them nationally, and explore opportunities for harmonization.enOpen ScienceAcademic DataOpen Research InformationMetadata enrichmentInstitutional RepositoriesEnhancing Open Academic Data through the NAIF Projecttext::conference output::conference presentation
