Bottom-up Open Science Education (BOSE): Home

This is a two day hands-on Open Science course for PhD students. It is primarily aimed at early career researchers at university medical centres in the Netherlands, but could be used for a broader audience. The course is designed to be taught in a real-life setting and interactive way. The main learning goals are to understand:

1. Why Open Science can offer solutions to some of the challenges that are (historically) present in science and its importance in society and academia
2. How to make your science more open, transparent, reproducible, participatory and diverse across all stages of the research cycle
3. The benefits and difficulties of Open Science, to help you identify when Open Science might be useful to you
