Dive into the fascinating world of open science with the all-new podcast ‘Open Science Bites’ brought to you by the University of Groningen.
10-minute episodes
Academics reveal their personal ‘open’ journeys and offer hands-on insights on open practices in their research and teaching. A series of short episodes - each no longer than 10 minutes - focuses on one specific open science practice.

Three views on open education
Season 1 focuses on open education. It features first-hand accounts by UG academics Anoek Sluiter-Oerlemans (Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences), Sander van Lanen (Faculty of Spatial Sciences) and Rashid Gabdulhakov (Faculty of Arts).
Episode 2: Open education - Buzzword or added value to teaching? (Sander van Lanen)
Sander van Lanen, Assistant Professor in cultural geography at the Faculty of Spatial Sciences, developed the open textbook ‘Introduction to academic research’ by reusing texts that were already openly available. In this episode, Sander shares his experiences with creating open educational material. He also reflects on the purpose of open education and the benefit for students. Is it a means of connecting with society or preparing students for the workforce?
