Webinar of the Science Policy series: What does “open science” really mean?
On 3rd October 2017, 13:30 CET
“Open science”: never has a term been interpreted in so many different ways. The diversity of perspectives may reflect the paradigm shift in how science is done, which is encoded in these words. ‘Open science’ encompasses open access to journals, sharing of scientific data, easy reproducibility, and transparency in research evaluation, among many other aspects. Future perspectives include the “uberisation” of science, and the harnessing of social networks mechanisms in research. In this webinar, we will rely on important actors in the process of opening science to put order among these ideas. We will try to understand where academia is going, and how to engage more scholars in open science.

Enjoy the summer with some fun-science parody music
Dissemination is more a more a must to do in the world of research.
It can take very different, original, unpredictable and funny forms, like a musical parody.
If you are a music – dance lover, you will enjoy doing it (or watching it).
