Open Science Festival: a day focused on collective benefit, equity, fairness, and sustainability - Leiden University

At the Netherlands National Open Science Festival in Rotterdam, 400 people with a heart for research and sharing knowledge came together — including many Leiden University employees. Four colleagues told us about their Festival experience, and their work to practice Open Science at Leiden University…

Did you enjoy the Open Science Festival #osf2023nl as much as we did? Look back at some of the photos, streams, a video and documentation from the various sessions👉https://www.openscience.nl/en/news/open-science-festival-watch-and-read-back

Looking back at the outcomes of our Thematic DCC workshop two weeks ago at the #osf2023nl Open Science Festival 2023, at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Addressing bottlenecks together to encourage FAIR practice in research methods, data, and software – workshop outcomes - TDCC.nl

As part of the programme of this year’s Open Science Festival, which took place last week at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the 3 thematic DCCs  (LSH, SSH and NES) organised a workshop with a joint goal to better understand the bottlenecks our communities are facing in the uptake of FAIR practices. With a mix […]

(Thanks Jazelle Maira Carillo for the artistic direction!)

it's a bit running from meeting to meeting right now, but the #nanosolveit project meeting and #osf2023nl are only just over but already packing for #lipidhack23
Our @cwts colleagues were out at the #OSF2023NL conference yesterday, sharing their work to open up science in various ways - get in touch with us here at the Citizen Science Lab if you're interested in joining the #CitizenScience NL network!

#osf2023nl was for me the first conference/meeting/etc where we had a proper "conference tweeting" vibe :) Great coverage, worth scrolling back.

I was most excited about:

- Research Software Directory -> Netherlands Research Portal integration

- talk about chemistry and open science :)

- Least excited about:

- >90% of Dutch scientific literature is still behind a paywall (but recent years look promising)

- we still don't have a Dutch "GitHub" open infra for international projects

@toothFAIRy thanks, great #OSF2023NL coverage!
@chartgerink Good point! I think it depends on how you consider contribution or other forms of engaging with your data or software. If your workflows rely on GitHub features, you force potential contributors to use the platform and rely on GitHub maintaining the features you use. For example, in GitHub Classroom Codespaces recently stopped working - out of the blue and that's in the middle of the course for some teachers. Others at #osf2023nl pointed out that GitHub cannot be accessed from Iran and access from China is limited. I don't know the answer, just sharing here that this took me by surprise.
Btw thanks for a nice chat today!

In closing - were not there yet. But I guess that has to wait for now because there are drinks going on 😂
