On Wednesday February 5th, the Open Science Community Lund (OSCL) met for the very first time. 18 onsite and 3 online participants met to tease out OSCL’s aim and purpose.
The meeting started with an introduction to Open Science Communities and the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities’ recommendations for kick-starting open science communities. The group then did a World Café-style exercise where we discussed the community’s purpose and values, who the community is for, and brainstormed activities. This excise was the first step in formulating a community statement for the OSCL.
Thank you to all who contributed this inaugural meeting. We look forward to seeing you again and continue to the discussions.
