Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science
Last July I attended “Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science”, a week-long open science summit co-organized by CERN and NASA in Geneva, Switzerland. In the following I want to share some outcomes from the event. |
At the meeting, more than a hundred institutional stakeholders committed to accelerating the transition to a more open, participatory, equitable, robust, and sustainable research ecosystem. The closing statement of the summit is now available online.
The community has produced translations to French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Chinese. Commitments include working on context-specific guidance on key dimensions to accelerate open science institutionalization, including:
An ongoing call to action is now open to anyone interested in joining four different working groups: Sustainable & interoperable open Infrastructure, Incentives, Equitable Open Science, and Evidence-based open research policy.
If you are interested in learning more about what happened at the Open Science Summit, you can check out the event's Zenodo community. There you find all slides as well as summaries of each day. Here are the direct links to my sketch-note summaries:
Some impressions: I love that the event turned into more than "just" a 5-day meeting and I am very much looking forward to seeing, what will come out of the working groups. A big thanks to the organizing team of this wonderful event 👏. I enjoyed it so much and made many potentially life-changing connections in the process. But more on that in a future post... Thanks also to the Open Research Funders Group for continuing the engagement and organizing the working groups. All the best, Heidi P.S.

All things open and reproducible data science.
What are good strategies to develop an Open Science Policy? Here's our opinionated guide. This post was co-created with Sander Bosch, Open Science Programme Coordinator at VU Amsterdam. At the Open Science Retreat 2024 Sander and I had a conversation about his experience in policy development. Since we believe that his experience is valuable for a lot of people out there, we decided to write down three simple rues to create an Open Science policy: Develop output policies first and combine...
Guest post: Meet Dr Elisabeth Kugler, director of Zeeks – Art for Geeks. In this post she will share her career path and how her work connects with open science now that she is an entrepreneur. I am Dr Elisabeth Kugler, director of Zeeks – Art for Geeks – a company that transforms how people think about data. We achieve this by data analysis, visualization, and communication. And our speciality is image-based data and strategies. In this article, I aim to discuss Zeeks' perspective on open...
Making your research or code project FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and reproducible can feel like a chore. But if you have access to the right templates and resources, it can be quite the simple and rewarding task. Let's make it easy for ourselves to do the right thing! So today let me share some templates for setting up #FAIR and #reproducible projects. I asked folks on social media what suggestions they had and got so many that I was not able to put them all here...
