The conference aims to foster the exchange of experiences and the development of practical solutions for implementing Open Access and Open Data models across the YERUN universities network. It focuses on advancing a new research culture grounded in openness, transparency, and responsible data sharing.
The programme will include discussions on Data Management Plan (DMP) tools, data verification processes, and the role of Data Stewards within academic institutions. A key objective of the meeting is also to explore opportunities for collaboration among YERUN universities and to support the establishment of shared standards and best practices in Open Science.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and experts in research data management, as well as representatives of the partner universities' administrations, and everyone interested in open data policy. Join us for an exchange of experiences, sharing of best practices, and collective reflection! The "Collaborative Horizon: Open Science and Data Management for Global Researchers" conference is open and free of charge.
