Programme: Celebrating openness - Open science in the North: Growing together - 30 March 2026

Join us on 30 March 2026 to celebrate the many ways in which academics make their research and teaching more accessible and transparent.

The three winners of the 2025 Open Research Award will present their case studies as lightning talks.

This year’s focus will be on community building, bringing together experts from the UG, UMCG, and Hanze to discuss how we can collectively shape open science in the North.

In addition to the lightning talks from the Open Research Award 2025 winners, we will be organising a panel discussion focusing on community building using Open Science. Join us, bring a friend and help shape the discussion on Open Science in the north of the Netherlands!
