In this post would also like to present one of the members of the organising committe, Angeliki Adamaki, project manager, working at the ICOS Carbon Portal at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science (LU INES)
Hi Angeliki! Are there any stakeholders you would like to encourage to be a part of the dialogue around open science?
Angeliki: The LU Open Science Days are organized for the very first time and I believe they offer a great opportunity to bring together all Open Science enthusiasts and actors at Lund University. Whether you are a researcher looking to open up your scientific work, an expert with valuable insights to share, or an LU stakeholder keen on discussing the University’s role in supporting our scientists to practice Open Science, you are warmly invited to participate in this newly established forum and talk about our current progress and what the future demands from each of us.
Why should researchers, PhD Students and support staff submit posters to poster mingle?
Angeliki: Submitting posters to the Poster Mingle means showcasing your work and sharing insights with our LU community. We aim at providing a platform to visually communicate findings, innovative ideas and projects to a diverse audience, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and networking. From our experience with poster sessions at scientific conferences, such events can provide valuable feedback, encouraging idea exchange and potential collaborations, all in a relaxing environment with good company and tasty food!
What would you like Lund University to do to facilitate open science practices?
Angeliki: In my view, Lund University has the capacity to equip our scientists with all essential tools for practicing Open Science, from training and guidelines to technical support and key resources like FAIR repositories, collaborative platforms and Open Access publishing assistance. If I were to summarize these expectations in a single wish, it would be for LU to prioritize Open Science as one of its central strategic goals, offering researchers access to an enabling infrastructure, and inspiring a culture of openness and collaboration.
