Training on Open Science in the European Research Area

Main pillar: 

  • Science with and for Society

Budget: 

900 000

Currency: 

Euro

Call deadline: 

Tue, 30 Aug 2016

Statut: 

  • Open

Description: 

Specific Challenge:

Open Science describes the on-going transitions in the way research is performed, researchers collaborate, knowledge is shared, and science is organised. It is driven by digital technologies, the globalisation of the scientific community, and the need to address grand societal challenges.

The acceptance of Open Science practices varies from one discipline to another and not all researchers have the same skills to adapt to this change.

In order to address this skills gap specific training for researchers and academics addressing key skills fostering the culture of Open Science will be supported.

 

Expected Impact:

This action will increase knowledge of open science related issues across different disciplines, contribute to changes in behaviour that are consistent with the ideals underlying Open Science, and prepare stakeholders for a real application of Open Science in the European Research Area, in particular in Horizon 2020.
