SUMMARY:Open Science Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Call for contributions Open Science Day 2025 – For and by researchers \nAbout this event \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nLink to event – Click here

SUMMARY:BERD Academy: Open Education for Research with Business\, Economics and Related Data
DESCRIPTION:Big Data took the world by storm\, Artificial Intelligence has become a hot topic across research disciplines. Working with these data can be a challenge. Especially for researchers in Business\, Economics and Social Sciences\, who graduated just a few years ago when most study programs covered mainly or exclusively ‘traditional’ data collection methods such as surveys with structured\, tabular data. \nTo unlock the research potential of new data sources by applying fitting methods\, education is needed. The BERD Academy is the training outlet of the consortium for Business\, Economics\, and Related Data in the National Research Data Infrastructure (BERD@NFDI). In this talk\, we will present how a wide range of offers in flexible formats fulfills the needs of researchers and research data providers. We want to discuss\, how educational content can unlock research potential and how open education can foster open science. \nLink to event – https://eosc.eu/events/berd-academy-open-education-for-research-with-business-economics-and-related-data/
