Join the first CIVICA Open Science Conference, taking place at LSE on 20 May. Open to researchers across our alliance, this event aims to advance open science in the field of social sciences.
This one-day hybrid event will bring together researchers, professional services staff and key stakeholders, with the aim to advance open science in the social sciences. Building on the work of the CIVICA Open Science Communities, this event aims to build capacity and promote Open Science in the CIVICA partner institutions.
The programme will feature keynotes, panels, lightning talks, and workshops. Our aim is to highlight the specific opportunities and challenges that open science brings to the social sciences, and to invite discussion about best practices between disciplines.
This will be a hybrid event, and will take place at LSE.
