The Institute of Open Science Practices

​IOSP is built on a single working principle: the people who depend on open science infrastructure and the people building it should be in the same room, working on the same problems, long enough to make real progress.

​This year, we will, together:

• ​Build a participant-owned data storage network.

• ​Publish datasets, code, and knowledge objects to it.

• ​Create algorithms that assess the trust and value of what is published.

• ​Assemble community-owned collaboratives that route funding based on that analysis.

• ​Spend Oct 14 outside the workshop rooms in walking sessions, informal working groups, and community activities.

• ​Close on Oct 15 by revisiting our shared theory of change.

​Meet with us in Leiden with the support of the University of Leiden, and the GoFAIR Foundation on Oct 12, 13, and 15. Oct 14 is our community field day: we leave the workshop rooms behind for walking sessions, informal working groups, and a field trip to the National Open Science Festival in Delft — a day for the community to experience life together, not just work together, before we reconvene for the final day.
