For GYA members and alumni only: connect to the group, collaborate and discuss with other members on the GYA-internal Agora platform

The GYA Open Science working group is working together with key stakeholders in the Open Science movement and is actively promoting policy change towards Open Science. We promote an inclusive approach towards Open Science, with a special focus on Open Access, Open Data, Open Software and a new initiative on Open Conferences. While policy change towards Open Science is in full swing, we are also working to increase awareness of Open Science and its uptake by (young) scientists.
We have an ongoing collaboration with
CODATA (Committee on Data of the International Council for Science) and the
Research Data Alliance towards developing international training and policy guidelines on Open Data.
