Call for contributions Open Science Day 2025 – For and by researchers
About this event
The KU Leuven Open Science Day is an event for and by researchers. Ultimately, Open Science is about the implementation of a certain set of practices within the research process. KU Leuven is organizing the Open Science Day as an opportunity for researchers to get involved, to share insights and to bring forward their own contribution. The journey towards more Open Science is a gradual process, which often requires a step-by-step approach.
This reality is reflected in the Open Science Day. We welcome contributions from both researchers with in-depth Open Science expertise and researchers who are just willing to share their initial Open Science experiences. We are looking for diverse contributions, from early career researchers and senior academics, with different backgrounds, from all research groups. We may also organize parallel sessions.
