FOSTER project members will coordinate an Open Science World Café at Day Two of the prestigious Dutch Presidency Open Science Conference in Amsterdam.

These World Cafés are being co-organised by LIBER and representatives from several European Funded projects in which LIBER participates will help coordinate the discussions on 5th April. FOSTER representatives will coordinate the session on training and skills, while FutureTDM will contribute to the session on text and data mining; LEARN RDM to the discussion on research data management; and PASTEUR4OA on Open Access Strategies.

The conference is run by the Dutch government, as part of its current EU Presidency. Over 300 politicians, officials, researchers, publishers, universities and research organisations from across Europe will attend, and will be WebCast in real time.

As organisers wrote on the conference website:

"At this Presidency conference member states and stakeholders can emphasise the importance of this transition. They will also launch the Open Science Policy Platform and draft a joint action agenda."

"The Netherlands hopes to genuinely accelerate the transition to Open Science, especially in terms of open access to scientific articles that are published internationally and the optimal, responsible re-use of scientific data."

The conference outcomes will be shared with stakeholders, the Open Science Policy Platform and the European Ministers for research and innovation at the meeting of the Competitiveness Council being held in Brussels on 26-27 May 2016.

Attendance:
The event is by invitation only, but FOSTER Partners will run a Twitter-chat for the duration of the event to allow online participation. More information soon on @fosterscience
