* Call for Open Science workshops in DHN2018 (March 9, 2018) *
The overarching theme of DHN2018 is Open Science. This pragmatic concept
emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices,
open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all
greatly facilitated by digitalisation. Conference participants have been
invited to specifically highlight aspects of Open Science in the
submitted work.
A call is now open for workshops that emphasize themes relevant to Open
Science. The workshops will take place on March 9, 2018 in Tiedekulma,
parallel to the main event. We are looking for proposals on any aspects
or activities that are relevant for Open Science. Examples of
appropriate formats include, but are not limited to, academic seminar,
hackathon, or a public outreach event.
Brief proposals (max 1 page) can be sent to Leo Lahti [log in to unmask]
(DHN2018 Open Science chair) by Feb 5, 2018. Kindly include a brief
description of the event, anticipated number of participants, session
timing (up to a full-day event), and contact information of the
organizer/s. You can also contact us to discuss the proposal in more
detail before submission.
