National Open Science Festival #OSF2021NL

Meet, Share, Inspire, Care…

On Feb­ru­ary 11th, around 500 par­tic­i­pants tuned into The Nation­al Open Sci­ence Fes­ti­val to learn about the ben­e­fits of Open Sci­ence. Here are our high­lights…

Pre-festival workshops

Online Open Source Hardware Building Session

José Car­los Urra Llanusa, San­tosh Ilam­paruthi, Manuel Gar­cia, Jer­ry de Vos, Suryansh Shar­ma, Jannes Nelis­sen and Nico­las Bark­er (TU Delft) host­ed a ses­sion that gave researchers a hands-on intro­duc­tion to build­ing and oper­at­ing open source hard­ware. The rel­e­vant kit and infor­ma­tion was mailed to par­tic­i­pants ahead of the ses­sion to ensure that all par­tic­i­pants were ready and pre­pared to build!

How-To-Reprohack

Daniela Gawehns, Kristi­na Het­tne (Lei­den Uni­ver­si­ty) and helper, Palo­ma Rojas Saunero (Eras­mus MC), taught par­tic­i­pants How-To-Repro­hack. In break­out ses­sions, par­tic­i­pants tried repro­duc­ing a paper in a live-cod­ing ses­sion and took the first steps to organ­is­ing their own repro­hack.

Event highlights

Anton Akhmerov, Theoretical Physicist from TU Delft

“We talk about doing things properly when it comes to [open] data and [open source] software… But, already the minimal workflow is better than not sharing. The absolute minimal workflow is ‘ZIP and upload’; you don’t have to do anything else and already it is so much better.”

I vis­it­ed nine of the com­mu­ni­ty-led ses­sions… What struck me was that a very large per­cent­age of par­tic­i­pants were young sci­en­tists… You could see that there was an eager­ness to be involved, and to learn what Open Sci­ence is and what it can offer.
