Open Scholarship Community Sussex (OSCS) is a new initiative at the University of Sussex to bring together people interested in Open Research. We aim to provide a space for everyone to participate in Open Science/Research projects, to share information and best practice, to develop & deliver courses and knowledge-sharing, and to be a community hub for anyone interested in any aspect of Open Research.
2025 is set to be a big year for OSCS. Community is the means by which we can disrupt the traditional model of scholarly research and publication and forge a path that’s open, equitable, and far-reaching. We want to proactively build this community at Sussex through OSCS and create a better research environment for all. We’ll be kicking-off with discussion focused events that look at how we can challenge the predominant models of conducting and publishing research by investing in open alternatives.
