EMBL’s Open Science Working Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EMBL’s Open Science Working Group drafted the Open Science Policy and is responsible for the overseeing its implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chair, Group Leader<\/p>\n

I began by chairing a new EMBL working group on DORA<\/a>, whose task was institutional change management towards a more explicit and more visible commitment by the institution to DORA. Initially I was not super-excited about yet more committee work. But I got to realize how important and interesting the topic is. It touches all that we do as scientists. And I got to love my institution even more for its progressive and pragmatic approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\n \n<\/article>\n\n\n\n

Biostudies Team Lead<\/p>\n

I have been involved in developing open data resources such as ArrayExpress and BioStudies since 2000. Participation in the EMBL Open Science group allows me to better understand how scientists think about data sharing and publishing, and I will use this information to improve our data resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\n \n<\/article>\n\n\n\n

EMBO Director<\/p>\n

If you want science to move forward, you have to share it. Sharing needs to begin well before the research is published. This is why I am interested in \u00a0initiatives such as the Human Cell Atlas Data Portal and in publishing activities such as Review Commons that blur the boundaries between preprints and conventional publications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\n \n<\/article>\n\n\n\n

Compliance Manager<\/p>\n

My interest in the topic stemmed from the compliance risk assessment, the external funders ever more often introduced specific requirements on open access to their terms of awards. In 2018 with Internal Audit and Library, we prepared a compliance report. Subsequently, I supported the Open Science Working Group, which led to the adoption of the EMBL Open Science Policy. Within this WG, I met enthusiasts and an engaged community advocating for open science and gained valuable insights into the significance of this movement for researchers and science in general!<\/p>\n

Data Science Community and Internal\u00a0Support Lead<\/p>\n

I joined the Open Science movement at EMBL (and beyond) because the unfair system needs to change, and I believe open knowledge, reproducibility, and a reformed research assessment are the pillars of this revolution. This aligns with my values and my current position at EMBL, enhancing computational support for the research community in the Data Science Centre.<\/p>\n

From 2018 to 2020, I also served as a member of the Executive Board of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), a European initiative aimed at developing infrastructures supporting open science practices in research data management. Since 2021, I\u2019m acting as EMBL\u2019s Delegate to the newly formed EOSC Association.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
