Open Science aims to make scientific research freely available to other scholars and to society. It is an extra opportunity for high-quality research because it makes the whole research process more transparent.
This training is a half-day session that provides theoretical and practical insights about Open Science practices. The focus is on topical Open Science themes and their practical implementation, which makes this introduction different from other trainings related to Open Science. The organizers invite researchers with diverse backgrounds from our university as speakers, including PhD researchers, who share their experiences with implementation Open Science practices in their own research. The programme is a combination of presentations on theoretical concepts and a more hands-on approach.
