RICAIP Seminar Series: Open in Science

We would like to invite you to the next RICAIP Seminar Series, this time on a variety of topics related to Open Science.

Open science, or rather “Open in science” – a concept that each of us has probably heard of at least once in our lives. However, often even scientists are unable to define exactly what characterizes this concept. Thanks to the latest RICAIP Seminar Series, you can get acquainted with the opinions of the most professional experts who will help you find your way around. What exactly does Open Science mean? How can a scientist be open in science? Can I get involved in research as a citizen?

Do not miss an opportunity to discuss with interesting speakers from leading European research institutions that are familiar not only with the aspects of Open Science and Open Access, but also with Citizen Science, Public Engagement, and Co-creation projects.
