The fifth edition of the Netherlands National Open Science Festival will take place at the University of Groningen. This Dutch festival is for the entire open science community and beyond. Professional research support staff and researchers across all disciplines are invited. The day will be full of interactive sessions, an information market, and plenty of opportunities to mingle and meet.
And for all those who, like me, were unable to attend, @anna.hughes wrote an excellent blog post capturing all the key discussions and takeaways!
Key takeaways
A powerful and timely reminder WHY we do open science
Institutional over reliance on big tech is dangerous.
Diamond Open Access publishing in the Netherlands is going from strength to strength through a top down (universities and national funders) and bottom up (libraries and institutional press collaborations) approach
Strong community networks and collaboration between researchers and grassroots communities are crucial in driving a meaningful change in attitudes toward open science
