Community statement

Our community is dedicated to creating an open, inclusive environment that breaks down barriers and encourages the free exchange of ideas and knowledge. Founded on mutual respect and genuine regard for each other, we aim to promote open science in the Lisbon region by uniting people from diverse institutions, disciplines, and backgrounds.

We focus on building connections with other local open science communities, such as OSC Coimbra, to facilitate knowledge exchange, raise awareness, and address the challenges of implementing open science practices. By creating and sharing tools and resources, we empower researchers, research managers, librarians, and enthusiasts to actively participate and advocate for open science.

Our community thrives on collaboration, respect, and empathy, offering a supportive space where members can share experiences, ask questions, and strengthen problem-solving skills. We value scientific integrity, co-construction, and cooperation. By engaging in dialogue, we work collectively to overcome barriers to open science and drive meaningful change.

Success, to us, means providing every member with the opportunity to safely share their thoughts, engage in constructive discussions, and influence open science practices. We express our identity through dialogue, cooperation, and a strong online presence, while participating in events and collaborating with peers. Together, we foster an innovative environment that enhances both individual and collective achievements.
