How do you put Open Science into practice?

From 18-20 April 2018, FOSTER invited 30 participants to learn about open science training. Sunny weather and the Centre of Genomic Regulation welcomed everyone in Barcelona.

A group of fourteen authors came together in February 2018 at the TIB (German National Library of Science and Technology) in Hannover to create an open, living handbook on Open Science training. High-quality trainings are fundamental when aiming at a cultural change towards the implementation of Open Science principles. Teaching resources provide great support for Open Science instructors and trainers. The Open Science training handbook will be a key resource and a first step towards developing Open Access and Open Science curricula a...

Our policy briefing “Roadmap for Implementing Open Science Training Practices in Research Institutions” outlines three key ways that are important to move towards a practical implemenation of Open Science in academia. Additionally, 6 practical steps are described that can be approached by research institutions to support the cultural change towards Open Science....

Online materials for learning about Open Science are available on large scale. However, when it comes to practical guidance we identified a gap. What resourc...
