Open Science: From Principles to Daily Research Practice

This session briefly introduces key elements of open science in everyday research practice, including open licenses, trusted repositories, and the main differences between institutional and disciplinary repositories. It also addresses research data management, with a focus on data management plans and practical support through tools such as the Data Stewardship Wizard. The session concludes by outlining the types of open science support available at university and faculty level and where researchers can seek practical guidance.
