How a Community of Practice can support your research

What role does community play in advancing open science? Join us for a webinar exploring how Communities of Practice (CoPs) can support researchers in implementing open science and integrate the FAIR principles into their work, and thereby enhance the visibility, reproducibility, and impact of their research.

This session will highlight real-world examples of successful Communities of Practice and the value they bring to researchers and institutions alike. We will also share how these stories have inspired us at SciLifeLab to plan our own Community of Practice, with the goal of fostering a more collaborative, open, and supportive research culture.

Featuring insights from Josh Gottesman (Michael J. Fox Foundation), Bogdana-Raluca Huma (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam & Community of Practice for Open Naturally Occurring Data), and Mirjam Walpot (SciLifeLab Data Centre; International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities).

This event is open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers, educational professionals, staff, RDM professionals, and others with an interest in Open Science, from all university levels. This event is informal and inclusive, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussion.
