Réservez la date et inscrivez-vous maintenant!


La science ouverte tout au long du cycle de vie de la recherche

Le symposium mettra en lumière comment la Science Ouverte peut être appliquée à toutes les étapes du cycle de vie de la recherche, avec des sessions thématiques nous guidant à travers les phases pratiques d’un projet de recherche. Il se concentrera sur les aspects de la science ouverte qui ont reçu moins d'attention, tels que la façon dont les ressources ouvertes permettent une meilleure conception des études, des initiatives augmentant la diversité des données de recherche, et les outils ouverts pour l'acquisition de données.

Conférencier principal

Ed Lein, chercheur principal à l'Allen Institute for Brain Science, ouvrira l'événement avec la conférence principale, offrant un aperçu des outils d'éducation ouverte développés par l'Allen Institute, qui sont inestimables pour améliorer l'éducation en neurosciences et renforcer la conception expérimentale.

Cérémonie de remise des prix 2024 de Science Ouverte de la Fondation Neuro-Irv and Helga Cooper

Célébrez les lauréats de cette prestigieuse compétition internationale de science ouverte. Les participants sont invités à rejoindre les lauréats des prix 2024 et les conférenciers du symposium lors d'une réception cocktail suivant la cérémonie.

Le Symposium Annuel sur la Science Ouverte offre une opportunité unique de réseauter et de se connecter avec la communauté de la science ouverte. C’est à ne voudrez pas manquer !
