Open Science Trainee Council

The Trainee Council is a 20-person committee composed of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral trainees at McGill University. Operating under the mentorship of the TOSI Grassroots Committee, their mandate is to build and support an Open Science student community to accelerate culture change in research labs and neuroscience education from the ground up, by:   

  • Organizing Open Science awareness events tailored to the trainee community.  

  • Providing peer-to-peer support and designing training programs to facilitate Open Science education and the implementation of Open Science practices by trainees.  

  • Incentivizing research trainees to adopt OS practices by supporting their work in OS through student-led awards.
