This online course will help researchers to share their science with the world! Six easily digestible modules will explore different aspects of Open Science and allow researchers in life sciences to gain a certificate in Open Science. The modules are on Data Management, FAIR Data, Open Access and Publishing, and...

Since the beginning of the project, WP4 has been building online and offline trainings in Open Science and RRI. This process has included a gap analysis of existing training in European Life Science institutes, pilot workshops for funders and researchers, and finally optimised workshops which offer a flexible yet consistent...

This article provides a broad review of the rapidly growing research...

Here are 3 case studies that can be used in short workshops to stimulate discussion about open science principles and practical actions. The case studies outline 3 scenarios loosely tied to aspects of open access, open data, and public engagement. The scenarios are composites of real life situations and dilemmas...

The podcast is hosted by Luiza Bengtsson, Emma Harris, and Zoe Ingram from the Communications department at the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC). On behalf of the ORION project, Luiza, Emma, and Zoe have been developing a whole range of training resources about Open Science for researchers, including workshops and online materials. The podcast is intended to be an easy and entertaining way to learn more about Open Science and research.

The ORION website is one of the main dissemination channels for the project and its activities. Also each participating RFPO created a dedicated webpage to Open Science and RRI on their institutional websites.

In order to help other Research Funding and Performing Organizations (RFPOs) who are interested in carrying out self-assessment on Open Science, we are making the questionnaire used in the large-scale quantitative analysis available.

Our survey "Public attitudes to life sciences research in six European countries" shows that interest in life sciences research is generally high among citizens and that the three most accepted purposes of using genome editing are related to the medical field. 6000 persons were interviewed in this pan-European study which...

How can you make your science more open? The ORION training team has developed a step-by-step checklist for researchers to assess where they can make changes to open science practices in their day-to-day research.
