Open for you! A series of webinars to discover open science
The movement for open science is transforming the academic world. In response, our training program meets the growing demand for transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration by exploring a broad range of practices, such as open peer review, FAIR and open data, open software, and citizen science. In 2025, we invite you to explore the basics of open science in our introductory webinar followed by four specialised workshops between February and July.
