In accordance with the international EUA Agenda for Open Science 2025, Sweden has now committed itself to implement Open Science into its higher education by 2026, with clear paths mapped by SUHFs ‘Färdplan för öppen vetenskap’ (2021), and KBs ‘Nationella riktlinjer för öppen vetenskap’ (2024).
The Course ‘Open Science in the Swedish context’ is designed to equip academics across all disciplines with a range of tools needed to implement Open Science practices into every step of their research project lifecycle. In this interactive, hands-on course, participants will learn about Open Science through interactive lectures, discussions with guest speakers, and practical assignments. Participants will gain first-hand experience with implementing Open Science practices into experimental planning & design, data collection & analysis, sharing & disseminating research output, long-term data accessibility & re-use, and project & researcher evaluation.
Completing this training will position participants as future leaders in the global shift towards more open and collaborative research practices, fostering a research environment where knowledge is freely exchanged and built upon.
Topics covered include:
- Open Science: what’s in it for you?
- The state of Open Science in Sweden
- Eliminating publication bias: how to publish a registered report
- Data reuse with the help of data repositories
- Good research practice in Sweden
- New ways of academic publishing: Open Access and beyond
- Getting credit for all your research outputs: DOIs and licensing
- Advances in researcher evaluation: funder and institutional perspectives
- Science communication and citizen science
Learning objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain what Open Science is, and discuss the benefits and challenges that come with its
- implementation, specifically in the Swedish context
- Describe the most common Open Science practices throughout every step of the research project lifecycle
- Implement Open Science practices into their own workflow
Public & Science Sweden will be part of the Science Communication & Citizen Science Sessions on the 9 of May.
This is a nationally offered course open to PhD students, postdocs, researchers, PIs and other employees at all Swedish universities who would like to implement Open Science practices into every step of their research projects.
