Register now for a thought-provoking session that highlights the personal and collective commitments shaping the future of research.
Join the “Faces of Open Science Workshop” on Friday 27 September for an engaging and creative session where we will delve into the diverse roles and motivations that drive the Open Science movement. In this workshop, Susanna Bloem and Marc van Mil from Utrecht University, invite participants to explore how they relate to the principles of openness, transparency, and collaboration in their research and academic practices. Whether you’re deeply involved in Open Science or just starting to explore it, this workshop will offer valuable insights and inspiration.
This event is part of a nationwide series held during the National Open Science week and is supported by Open Science NL.
Scientific integrity is essential to the self-correcting nature of science. But how can we ensure the quality and integrity of scientific research, and what frameworks can we create to foster it?
At a time when AI introduces new challenges to the traditional scientific publishing system and the integrity of many established researchers is under scrutiny, the importance of maintaining scientific integrity is more crucial than ever. On September 23, the Open Science Community Amsterdam together with the Student Initiative for Open Science hosts the Scientific Integrity Symposium to highlight interdisciplinary perspectives on the topic, discuss prerequisites for fostering a culture of research integrity, and address the growing challenges of scientific fraud.
UvA Open Science coordinator Frans Oort will open the event, followed by talks from international experts on fraud detection, Elisabeth Bik and Ben Mol, as well as national experts on research integrity Mariëtte van den Hoven and Gerben ter Riet. This event is part of a nationwide series held during the National Open Science week and is supported by Open Science NL.
This event is free to attend, but registration is required. You can choose to attend either the morning session, the afternoon session, or both, depending on your availability and interests.
