training

Many researchers and funding bodies are aware of the concepts of Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation, RRI but going from awareness to actual application in daily research activities is a big step. For many, taking this step seems impossible due to real or perceived constraints of basic research or funding policies. To lower the threshold for application, we have provide training in RRI and Open Science concepts and tools across Europe, and shown how these can be applied in fundamental research and funding processes and decisions.

The ORION project has also developed training content for researchers and professional staff at funding agencies and research performing organisations on RRI and Open Science concepts, practices and tools. All training materials are free to use and you will find our training materials here on or website or you can download the material from Zenodo.

ORION Open Science MOOC for the Life Sciences

The ORION Training has now gone digital, and you can read about the ORION MOOC for Open Science in the Life Sciences here. The MOOC consists of six easily digestible modules which explores different aspects of Open Science and allow researchers in life sciences to gain a certificate in Open Science. You can follow the self-paced MOOC course on the Open Learn Create platform.
