Open Science Workshop
Why Everyone Should Care About Open Science
Open Science is about putting more science in society and more society in science, but how does it work and what does it mean for you?
Open Science concepts and tools have the potential to transform the current scientific system for the greater good of all, but how can scientists and society actually benefit from the Open Science movement?
This workshop will establish what Open Science is and why it is needed. There will be an overview of the main areas of Open Science: Open Access, Open Data, Public Engagement and Citizen Science. In addition, there will be some practical tips how research can be made open and how scientists and non-scientists can make use of Open Science materials. Following this there will be an interactive discussion game that promotes participants to exchange their own opinions and ideas about the underlying issues in modern science. The session is organised by the EU-funded ORION Open Science project and the Berlin Natural History Museum.
The session will last 2 hours and drinks will be served. The session is suitable for those with very little or basic knowledge of Open Science.
