A new batch of Open Science Ambassadors

During a lunch on 29 August, the Open Science Programme was introduced to a new batch of Open Science Ambassadors; researchers, teachers and staff of Utrecht University who were awarded a contribution from the Open Science Fund this summer. The Open Science Fund. Anyone who wants to develop FAIR software in order to better study global problems such as drought and air pollution, make a podcast series in Groningen about the alternative history of gas extraction in the Netherlands or carry out an experiment to see whether research in the humanities can be replicated, can apply for funding from the Open Science Fund. With the Open Science Fund, the UU wants to give research teams the opportunity to experiment with doing research in an open science way. Researchers can apply for money for elements of their research that they would not (yet) be able to finance within regular funding streams. New batch. During the lunch, scientists and staff members who had previously received a contribution from the fund presented the results of their research, but they were also introduced to a new generation.
