What happens when we make science more open, transparent, and collaborative? What new possibilities arise when data is shared, and research becomes more accessible?

Associate professor Adam Hulman from the Department of Public Health has been exploring how to navigate the discussion around one of modern science’s hottest topics – and has now organised an open seminar featuring some of the pioneers of open science alongside Health researchers who have worked with open science.

“How and how much of science to open up is an ongoing discussion all across the scientific fields, so I wanted to create a seminar with both relevant input from some of the topics main thinkers and with knowledge sharing and discussion within our own science community at Health,” says Adam Hulman.

Keynote speakers are Michel Dumontier, Distinguished Professor of Data Science at Maastricht University and the co-founder of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for open science. He’s flanked by Tom Pollard, Research Scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and technical director of PhysioNet, which provides free access to large collections of physiological and clinical data and open-source software.

“With two strong keynote speakers I hope participants will leave the seminar with a better understanding of the FAIR principles, as well as with inspiration about how open-source data and software can impact their own work,” Adam Hulman explains.

In addition to the keynote presentations, six Health researchers will share their experiences with open science in a series of flash talks.

All researchers and educators at Health are invited to attend the seminaron 26 June from 15.30 in the auditorium at the Department of Public Health (1262 – 101).
