Identifiers for research organizations, maintained by the Research Organization Registry.
ROR is a registry of “research organizations.” We define “research organization” as any organization that conducts, produces, manages, or touches research.
This dataset contains entities from a larger database that is used to enrich the data in OpenSanctions with additional details and connections. We only include entities from the source where there is a relevant connection to the entities in the main OpenSanctions database (e.g. to a sanctions target or a politician).
