MSCA4Ukraine webinar: Open Science principles and practices

The webinar, which will take place on 25 October at 11.00 CEST, will address open science principles and practices in the EU and how open science can contribute to the strengthening of the Ukrainian higher education and research sector. Open science is defined by the EU’s Research Executive Agency as “an approach to research based on open cooperative work – that emphasizes the sharing of knowledge, results and tools as early and widely as possible.” It has the potential to increase the quality and efficiency of research and accelerate the advancement of knowledge and innovation by sharing results, making them more reusable and improving their reproducibility. This webinar offers an opportunity for researchers from Ukraine to learn more about open science practices, how to publish on the open access publishing platform developed by the European Commission and how open science can be used to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine’s higher education sector.
