Making research accessible: why open science matters

Date: June 24th, 2026

Time: 11:00-12:00 am

Did you know that most published scientific results cannot be replicated and that the majority of articles do not make their data available?

This seminar introduces the concept of Open Science: what it is, why it is important, and how to apply it in practice. It explores challenges such as data reproducibility and transparency, introduces key tools like pre-registration and open data, and highlights the growing regulatory requirements imposed by funding agencies such as the NIH and Horizon Europe.

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

✅ Why the reproducibility crisis exists

✅ Open Science tools (pre-registration, open data, transparent reporting)

✅ What the current requirements are from funders such as the NIH and Horizon Europe

✅ Concrete first steps for researchers, students, and administrators
