Following the internationally acclaimed success of the previous “Open Science Day”, this year’s conference will take an even deeper look at the challenges of open science. With the recent adoption of new sectoral legislation (Scientific Research and Innovation Activities Act, 2021) and this year’s adoption of the Decree on the implementation of scientific research work in accordance with the principles of open science (2023) and the Open Science Action Plan (2023) following the Resolution on the Slovenian Scientific Research and Innovation Strategy 2030 (2022), the Slovenian research landscape is increasingly aligning with the expected image of a common European Research Area (ERA).
This year’s national EOSC tripartite event will focus on the future of EOSC, changes in the research assessment and copyright in the light of open science. Special attention will be given to solutions in the area of national infrastructures for open science. The two-day event will feature a rich programme, including best practice examples of EOSC and open science, and the first national citizen science event.
Open Science Day2 2023 will once again bring together key players in the field of open science and innovation at the European and national level, scientists, researchers and service providers. Together and in dialogue, we will shape the Slovenian research landscape as it is tailored by the scientific research community. The conference will also include the announcement of a nationwide hackathon aimed at bringing together two intertwined fields: open science and supercomputing.
Open Science Day2 2023, the national tripartite EOSC event, will take place on 14 and 15 November at the Four Points by Sheraton Ljubljana (hotel Mons).
Registration is required for the event, which is organised as part of the annual Arnes conference “Mreža znanja” (Web of Knowledge).
More information will follow in the coming days. A preliminary version of the programme is published below.
