PhD Researchers at KU Leuven, ready to plan your next training? Willing to learn more about Open Science? Join us on 23 October for the Open Science Discovery. You can participate in the morning session, in an afternoon workshop, or both.
Program
Morning: Open Science Discovery
Explore key themes like reproducible research, Citizen Science, and how to implement Open Science in your own work. Join online or in-person!
This training is an opportunity to learn more about different Open Science principles and how they contribute to high-quality research. Special attention will be paid to the reproducibility of research and to Citizen Science as a means to create a connection with society. This session includes a workshop during which participants will explore in small groups how Open Science can be implemented in practice. This is followed by a discussion on potential challenges as well as strategies on how to overcome them.
Afternoon: Hands-on Workshops
Choose your session:
- Peer Review: A key element of the publication process, essential for validating research.
