Open Science Meeting and Working Open Workshop

The registration for the Open Science Day meeting on November 30, 2017 is open!

Science has to be accessible to everyone, from the scientists working every day in the lab doing experiments or coding new methods and analyses, to the citizens who will benefit from the new advances. Scientific research should be open to everyone. Open Science benefits society as a whole and increases everyone's trust in scientific methods.

The life cycle of Open Science encompasses all steps of scientific research: from hypothesis generation, to literature review, to data collection, to data analyses and finally to publication of results.

During this one-day conference, we would like to bring to the limelight some of these life cycle steps with special emphasis on collaborative platforms and tools that can be used to do open science.

Our speakers will include representatives from F1000Research, Figshare, HackyourPhD, Brainhack, IBM Research, Center for Open Science, European Open Science Cloud pilot, Sage Bionetworks and Mozilla.

In addition, Institut Pasteur members can also assist the Working Open Workshop (or WOW) on December 1, 2017. The WOW is a set of training sessions created by Mozilla Science Lab to help up-and-coming leaders of open science and open research projects make the most effective open projects possible, and build active communities of contributors around them. Specifically, WOW prepares project leads for a strong launch of their open source projects (in this case, "project" includes code and non-code projects).
