INAF has established a working group dedicated to Open Science to develop policies and strategies to enable Open Science at institutional level. The first event organised by that WG was held 14-15 December 2023 and the IVOA as a community that manages open standards has been presented in the "Open Data" session of the event itself. The slides can be seen here (beware, they are really sketchy). The talk was well accepted and helped connect to other research institutions in Italy in terms of FAIR approach to data and services holdings.
