Moving UCalgary Forward with Open Science | Webinar
What is open science and how can it increase our impact as researchers across disciplines?
Join us to learn about how open science increases our impact as researchers and as a university.
Based on UNESCO’s Recommendation on Open Science, open science is about increasing the quality, accessibility, inclusivity and impact of all scholarly efforts. It’s about doing scholarship well. Furthermore, open scholarship breaks down barriers that can hold back progress and creates new opportunities through shared knowledge and collaboration. It furthers scholarship by directly addressing the need to engage with citizens, policymakers, community members and different knowledge systems to put forth relevant and actionable solutions for society’s complex problems.
With growing momentum worldwide, Canadian funding agencies are likely to increase requirements for open science practices in the coming year. This 90-minute session will introduce concepts and tangible success stories of how exciting (and varied!) open science can be.
