Launched in October 2020, the UCL Office for Open Science and Scholarship (OOSS) has been a dedicated unit championing open science and open research practices, fostering inclusivity, transparency, and collaboration at University College London (UCL) and beyond. But what does that mean for you? 🔍 Explore our work: [https://lnkd.in/eMV_--FT] 🔍 Learn about OOSS: [https://lnkd.in/ezDAiAr8] What is the OOSS? We support UCL in championing, advocating, and advancing the adoption of open practices across disciplines. Our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and accessibility drives everything we do. What is Open Science? Open Science, also known as Open Research or Open Scholarship, extends beyond Open Access publishing. It encompasses areas such as Open Data and Software, Transparency, Reproducibility, Open Methodology, and the principles of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data. It also actively involves the public in research processes through initiatives such as Citizen Science, Engaged Research, and Public Involvement. Why Open Science Matters? It enhances collaboration, innovation, and accessibility while fostering transparency and public engagement. Embracing Open Science practices empowers researchers to reshape the academic landscape with transformative benefits. From maximising research potential to involving the public in the process, Open Science is changing the game. Follow us for updates, insights, and opportunities to engage with the future of research and scholarship. Let's build a more open, inclusive, and collaborative academic environment together! #OpenScience #ResearchInnovation #Transparency #Collaboration #citizenscience

We can't wait for this this ConnectUR Preconference workshop! Developing Your Research Program in the Natural Sciences With Undergraduate Students This highly engaging workshop will take place on Monday, June 24, 2024, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM ET in College Park, Maryland, and will be facilitated by Joyce Fernandes, Irene Reed, Lance Barton, Doug Dluzen, Keri Colabroy, Joe Reczek, and Michael Jackson. Institutions that emphasize undergraduate education can offer productive and rewarding research careers for future faculty. Considering that a vast majority of academic jobs are available at such institutions compared to research one/high research productivity institutions, graduate students and post-doctoral researchers should have ample opportunity to learn about diverse career tracks in academia. This workshop will provide trainees with first-hand experience from established faculty within such institutions, along with strategies for enhancing one’s research program within the context of undergraduate teaching and mentoring. In addition, the workshop will provide trainees with information about sources of funding and other resources to support their research with undergraduates. They will also learn about resources available through the Council on Undergraduate Research as a professional organization. Agenda and registration at https://lnkd.in/e97KX2vU

Experts from Utrecht University have penned insights on open science as a collaborative international endeavor following a workshop jointly hosted by the university and the International Association of Universities. Embracing systems thinking regarding shifts in science and higher education, aimed at fostering greater openness in science and accessibility in education, ought to be a universal principle. For universities, it should represent a broad obligation. The convergence of initiatives such as the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information on open research, the #FAIR data principles for research data, and the CoARA Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, becomes feasible only when we conceive #OpenScience as a cohesive system of interconnected components.

🛎️ Great Opportunity for High School Students to Improve their College Portfolio and Resume The High School Academic Research Competition (SARC) - is now open for registrations - check out researchcomp.org for more details! SARC is a research competition where students can propose to study any topic of their choice, and all they need is a 2-page research proposal.
