Bringing Open Science to formal education π«
Open Science is just good science in a digital age. And if we want students and early career researchers to become good scientist, we need to start implementing Open Science in formal education: In Bachelors and/or Masters degrees, in PhD programmes, and beyond. At the Open Science Retreat (see previous newsletter issue) we came up with a syllabus for a one semester course (12 weeks) with 1.5 hours in-person sessions each week and preparation work before each session (blended learning/flipped classroom).

Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7818768 Easy enough, right? You can of course also use it to get inspiration for designing smaller courses or find learning material if you are currently trying to learn more about Open Science. Because the document we created not only contains a syllabus, but also suggenstions for exercises/assignments and a rich collection of resources. Check it out! Thanks to the wonderful team who created this resource π. I had a blast working with you on this π. Before saying goodbye for this week, I want to leave you with a special announcement: All the best and happy weekend! π Heidi P.S.
