Open Science & Education

Open Science is an open and collaborative way to conduct, publish and evaluate scientific research and educational resources. Striving for more collaboration, reuse of knowledge and transparency, not only between researchers, teachers and their disciplines but also with society as a whole, is central to the Open Science movement.

WUR has wholeheartedly embraced Open Science by establishing the Open Science & Education (OSE) programme. The aim is to make Open Science & Education the standard practice. By opening up our research and education, we create more scientific impact, bring scientific knowledge to society, and provide solutions to societal challenges.
