Learn from the Experts in our 2024 Training Series on Open Research
The full course description for Open Research is now available! This eight-week training series facilitated by Bianca Kramer and Jeroen Bosman—known internationally for educating the academic community about open science and open access—features lively, interactive sessions covering the entire research cycle. Whatever their discipline or organizational role, participants will enhance their understanding of the scholarly communications ecosystem and gain valuable information and insights they can use on the job.
Most professionals engaged in supporting or conducting research have heard of various aspects of open science and scholarship. But how well do we understand the principles and practices underlying open research? And how can we apply knowledge of open research in our own institutional and organizational contexts?
From preregistration and preprints to open access and metadata, this course will help participants navigate the open research landscape in information-packed sessions using the research cycle as a framework. The 90-minute sessions, to be held on Thursdays from 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada), will combine presentation, demonstrations, hands-on exploration, and discussion:

Attendees will learn how all these concepts and practices are applied by researchers and supported by librarians, data managers, and other professionals. They will leave the course not only with new knowledge and insights, but also with ideas and inspiration to include open research perspectives and practices in their own roles and contexts.
Bianca Kramer is Librarian for Life Sciences and Medicine, Utrecht University, and co-facilitator Jeroen Bosman is Scholarly Communications and Geoscience Librarian, Utrecht University
