Utrecht University

aid: utrecht
name: Utrecht University
description: 'Utrecht University (Universiteit Utrecht) is a public research university in Utrecht, Netherlands, ranked #105
  in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is centered on open research infrastructure
  rather than a formal developer portal: the Utrecht University Library runs a DSpace institutional repository exposing publication
  metadata via OAI-PMH, the university maintains a large public GitHub organization (UtrechtUniversity) that publishes open-source
  research software, and it develops Yoda, an iRODS-based research data management platform. There is no single consolidated,
  self-service API developer portal; most administrative and identity systems are gated behind institutional SolisID/SSO.'
