Starting Point

Research is increasingly expected to produce outcomes that are developed for and with society, that are well documented and accessible within and beyond a scientific community, and thus, respond to social challenges and make a real impact. Open Science is committed to ensuring that the entire research cycle shifts towards openness, thereby advancing good scientific practice. Its principles include and range from Open Educational Resources (OER), Open Access (OA), Open Peer Review, Open Source, Open Methodology to Open Data.

Aim

Participants will get familiar with Open Science core elements and practices. They learn how to integrate these practices efficiently into their own research workflow and how to make their work FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). In this context, participants reflect on what Open Science can accomplish in general and how it may advance their own research.
