Getting you fit for the
Open Age!
FOSTER Plus and the Open Science Trainer Bootcamp

2. Open Science is the practice of science in such a
way that others can collaborate and contribute,
where research data, lab notes and other research
processes are freely available, under terms that
enable reuse, redistribution and reproduction of
the research and its underlying data and methods.
