LIBER and UNESCO propose a hands-on workshop about Discovering, adopting, adapting and taking advantage of the open science Recommendation toolkit for implementing open science practices and services in your institution.

This workshop aims to:

  • bring together and empower open science communities and services: this is the very spirit of this workshop where people exchange ideas and build their pathways to implementing the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science Principles, Values and 7 Areas of action
  • identify common practices related to open science: use and share practices under the framework of the international UNESCO recommendation on Open Science, discover the example of the LIBER Strategy regarding Open Science, small groups of discussion and wrap-ups to share outputs, challenges and words of wisdom
  • see what the best synergies are to deliver and operate services that work for many : sharing experience and reflecting on pathways for action is an effective way for fostering and enhancing synergies

The key learning outcomes will be:

  1. discovering and adapting the UNESCO Open Science Toolkit
  2. discovering the LIBER Strategy regarding Open Science and taking possible inspiration from it
  3. taking inspiration from the shared open science roadmap or strategy by other participants
  4. taking this opportunity to start developing/adapting the framework of OS skills and competencies for and with UNESCO
  5. drafting or gathering elements for initiating, developing or enhancing an institutional or collaborative strategy for concrete action, training and capacity building

Have a look at the workshop programme here and the workshop take home notes here.
