#OpenScience #OSPARK #ResearchSupport #ScienceComm
This morning at the OSCARS meeting in Rome I will present our #OSPARK project that teaches #OpenScience advocates and service providers in creating visibility for their initiatives.
On my way to Rome for the OSCARS Annual General Meeting, where I'll get to meet folks from other EU #OpenScience projects and share our vision for our project #OSPARK
Taking the scenic route by train π π
The OSPARK project aims to empower the Open Science community by developing a comprehensive multi-week training bootcamp focused on marketing and communication. The programme specifically targets members of the OSCARS Science Clusters and the broader Open Science community, aiming to create βmultipliersβ who can effectively promote their initiatives. By equipping these advocates with evidence-based strategies, the project seeks to enhance the visibility of ESFRIs and other research infrastructures (RIs), enabling them to share their messages more effectively.
