• June 21, 2024

22 October, Maastricht — Registration for the highly anticipated National Open Science Festival is officially open! Since its inaugural edition in 2021, the festival has been a significant event fostering creativity and innovation within the Open Science community. This year’s festival promises to be a vibrant gathering filled with engaging sessions and ample opportunities for attendees to reconnect with old colleagues and forge new professional relationships.

Festival Highlights

Set against the academic backdrop of Maastricht University, the festival on 22 October is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about Open Science. It will feature a diverse range of sessions designed to inspire and inform, providing a platform for participants to share knowledge, collaborate on new ideas, and celebrate the progress and potential of Open Science.

Open Science Barcamp: A Pre-Festival Event

Adding to the excitement, a satellite event, the Open Science Barcamp, will take place on 21 October, the day before the main festival. Held at the same location, this Barcamp follows an open ‘unconference’ format, inviting both newcomers and seasoned experts in Open Science to join. Organized by the grassroots network Open Science Communities (OSC-NL), this event is an excellent opportunity for participants to (re)connect, share insights, and expand their professional networks in an informal setting.

Final Program and Registration Details

The final program for the festival will be available in August and will be published on the event’s official website. Registrants will be notified once the program is released, allowing them to subscribe to their preferred sessions. This ensures that all attendees can tailor their festival experience to their interests and make the most of the event.
