What?
Eurodoc, in collaboration with the Czech National Library of Technology (NTK), is organizing a focus session to inform the Sustainability Strategy of the Open Research Europe (ORE) project through consultation with the Eurodoc community. We want to discuss various features of the ORE platform (preprints, open peer review, publishing of diverse research outputs) and co-create ideas on how to support the platform's sustainability.

Czech National Library of Technology in Prague (Technická 2710/6, 160 80 Prague 6, Czech Republic).
Who is invited?
7 early-career researchers (generally doctoral candidates or postdocs) representing various European countries and fields of science, who are affiliated with one of the Eurodoc National Associations. Candidates should have an interest in the topic of Open Science and/or doctoral training.
What is offered?
Accommodation (shared rooms) and travel reimbursement up to 200 €/person. We will also offer some catering during the event.
How to apply?
Please fill in this google form by EOB on October 5, 2022.

More details
In spring 2021, the European Commission launched 'Open Research Europe' (ORE), an Open Access Publishing Platform for Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe beneficiaries. ORE offers rapid publication of various article types without editorial bias. All articles benefit from transparent peer review and are published under an open license. The platform is a significant step toward Open Science in Europe. Eurodoc, as an expert partner in the ORE project, is ensuring that the voice of early-career researchers is heard.
In this capacity, Eurodoc planned to organize a focus session in Lviv, Ukraine, in late March 2022, which did not happen due to the war. KRECon conference in Prague is an excellent opportunity to hold the focus session as a pre-event as it offers many additional communication and dissemination opportunities for the organizers.
