How a Community of Practice can support your research
What role does community play in advancing open science? Join us for a webinar exploring how Communities of Practice (CoPs) can support researchers in implementing open science and integrate the FAIR principles into their work, and thereby enhance the visibility, reproducibility, and impact of their research.
Featuring insights from Josh Gottesman (Michael J. Fox Foundation), Bogdana-Raluca Huma (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam & Community of Practice for Open Naturally Occurring Data), and Mirjam Walpot (SciLifeLab Data Centre; International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities).
This session will highlight real-world examples of successful CoPs and the value they bring to researchers and institutions alike. We will also share how these stories have inspired us at SciLifeLab to plan our own CoP, with the goal of fostering a more collaborative, open, and supportive research culture.
