UEFISCDI, host of the Romanian Open Science Knowledge Hub and the Romanian Programme Operator for the Research Area under EEA and Norway Grants organizes the on-line international workshop “Building Consistency for Open Science in Europe – rhetorics and practices”. For two days (19 – 20 April 2021) internationally renowned experts will give presentations and share their experience on the challenges associated with making open science a reality. A special focus will be given to the challenges and practices of embedding open access to the research results as it is mandated by the EEA and Norway Financial Mechanism.

Marie Louise Conradsen - Aarhus University - will outline during her speech, ”The scientific conversation starter – how openness can pave the way for innovation in drug discovery”, about ODIN’s journey towards openness, its valorization strategy, the learnings so far – and why the initiative has chosen a slightly different approach to i.e. governance and ideation than its sources of inspiration.

More details on the event can be found here.

Registration is open and free of charge.
