The WG Open science focuses on advocating policy recommendations for higher education and European research stakeholders on changing the academic culture towards a more open one.

The work of the Open Science working group is led by Elias Najarro who is a doctoral candidate at the IT University (Denmark). 

This working group focuses on advocating policy recommendations for higher education and European research stakeholders on changing the academic culture towards a more open science one.

General goals of the WG:

• to raise awareness about Open Science initiatives among early career researchers;
• to elaborate recommendations on the implementation of Open Science for universities, European institutions, and other international institutions;
• to advocate for changes in research assessment procedures such that these procedures would align with Open Science principles.

Yearly goals of the WG:

1. Creating a hub for the NAs in developing or providing feedback on Open Science policy
2. Investigating the benefits and challenges of the use of AI in Open Science
3. Providing feedback on trainings, tools, and services to enable the practice of Open Science (EOSC and OpenAIRE or other infrastructures/projects)

The purpose of the Open Science WG is: (1) to provide policy input and support for National and European Open Science Policy; (2) to discuss crossing topics in research that may have impact with Open Science (e.g. the role of AI in Open Science); (3) to trial training and services related to Open Science to provide feedback, co-design and improve researchers skills and knowledge.

Any ECR should consider joining the WG Open Science if they find discussions related to Open Science practises interesting and if they wish to contribute to the development of Eurodocs policies on the topic, as well providing feedback on Open Science training and tools. Participation in the working group does not require any prior experience with the topic or entail any obligations to attend meetings or to perform any work between meetings

How to sign up for the WG mailing lists

Each working group has an email list. Here, the working groups can keep in touch between meetings, such as calling for meetings and sharing information of interest to its members.

All 6 working groups Eurodoc has are open for all early-career researchers and doctoral candidates affiliated with one or more of the members (national associations) of Eurodoc to join. In some cases, it is even possible for others to join these working groups.

If you wish to be added to the new email lists for any working groups, please sign up through this link.
