Background
Within the framework of the Circle U. European University Alliance, a task force with experts from the nine constituent universities of Circle U. exchanged over several months on ways to foster Open Science and provide guidelines for researchers. The result of these exchanges are the following two reports. This session will disseminate the insights from these two reports:
- Open Science Recommendations to Stakeholders (uclouvain.be) is geared towards stakeholders and decision-makers at universities and provides strategies and key actions
- Shared Guidelines for Open Science (uclouvain.be) is a decontextualized adaptation of the booklet Passport for Open Science (ouvrirlascience.fr) which aims to provide researchers from Circle U. institutions with a set of general - but also practical - guidelines to adopt Open Science. Elements specific to Circle U. partners are summarized, institution by institution. Thanks to this format and structure, Guidelines for Open Science provide researchers with a self-paced courseware for discovering Open Science and exploiting facilities provided by each partner institution.
