Presentation at the “Open Science: connecting the actors” event on the 21st of November 2022:
Share best practices, foster community, and encourage knowledge-sharing on Open Science.
At the heart of the Open Access Belgium community is the ambition to open up the way we organize and conduct scientific research.
The Open Science teams of the Belgian universities have developed and tested a wide range of training methods, training materials, networking activities
and data solutions to facilitate and foster Open Science. Achievements, tools and lessons learned by different institutions will be shared in this networking event.
