Open Science Workshop 2021
The event will aim to acquaint academics and researchers with the planned activities at the university level and provide space for expressing comments and suggestions on the submitted material. The meeting will be divided into two parts. The first part of the workshop will present the emerging Open Science Strategy 2022–2028 at MUNI and its practical implications for research. Foreign guests will acquaint us with the current state of Open Science project conditions for Horizon Europe programs and examples of good practice in implementing Open Science in scientific communication abroad. The interactive part will be devoted to discussing the suggestions obtained at the so-called “Open Science Roadshow”, which took place during the spring months at individual economic centers and presented the strategy in more detail. The June workshop should summarize the findings and give space for further discussion of the submitted material. The summer months will then be used to finalize the strategic document, action plan, and related supporting methodologies and documents. The final version of the MUNI 2022–2028 Open Science Strategy should be ready in September this year so that the university management can officially approve it by the end of the year.
