Opening up Academia (2017)

2017 Opening up 

The topic of the 2017 yearly project was “Opening up”. Opening up has various dimensions: opening up science, opening up the university to local businesses, and opening up to the general public. The yearly project started with a day-long workshop on Open Science, for which influential open science proponents such as Simine Vazire (UC Berkeley) were invited in Spring 2019. Following this, the cohort partnered with the Dean of Talent Development to organize workshops on industry collaborations for YAG members. Activities to open up to the general public were incorporated into  public engagement activities (e.g. during Noorderzon and King’s Day).
