First impressions of Wales are fantastic. Had a great lunch and found our way to the Center of Alternative Technology (thanks to the kind and funny bus driver 😁).

Today at the Open Science Retreat is all about adventure. Looking forward to how it will unfold. #OSR26UK
I'm at the Centre for Alternative Technology this week with @digiresacademy - what a beautiful place to think about how we can shape the academic ecosystem – perhaps along ecological principles. 🌱 πŸ’š

Before the main #OSR26UK retreat begins, our group is already on the go!
The UKRN hackathon kicks off this morning at CAT in Wales with a dedicated group of open science practitioners who arrived a day early to collaborate extensively to find solutions.
This hackathon is not about doing presentations or listening passively. Rather it brings together people with shared passion combined with a bright sunny morning to address a shared problem and solve it.

Follow along today with #OSR26UK.

A huge thank you to Open Life Science for their incredible support as fiscal host and partner of the Open Science Retreat Global 2026! πŸŽ‰

From enabling the behind-the-scenes foundations to supporting the broader vision, OLS strives towards building collaboration and a space where ideas and people can come together in a meaningful way.

As the retreat begins tomorrow, we’re excited to see exchanges and ideas that will emerge.
