Are you a researcher or a staff member from a YERUN partner university and have you/your team initiated an activity on Open Science at your institution? Then, don’t miss the opportunity to apply for the brand new YERUN Open Science awards!
The YERUN Open Science Awards are aimed at encouraging and rewarding Open Science initiatives across the YERUN network. We are excited to see applications that demonstrate and/or support the practice of varying aspects of Open Science, such as FAIR and open data, Open Access publishing, recognition and rewards, public engagement, citizen science, open education, open science skills development, etc.
The awards target initiatives that support the scholarly community to adopt and implement Open Science principles in their work, and that are implemented by the following categories:
- Researchers (teams or individuals)
- Administrative staff or professional services (teams or individuals).
One initiative under each category will be selected and awarded as an inspiring practice in its field(s) that serves as an example for others in implementing Open Science.
Winners will bring in a monetary award to their institution/department (5,000€ for each award – 2 awards per year), which will be used to further advance the existing initiative or implement a new initiative on Open Science.
The two award-winning initiatives will be invited to showcase their work at an event organised by YERUN. All other eligible initiatives will be showcased in a dedicated space on the YERUN website and newsletter.
More information on the application process is available on YERUN’s official website.
