OSC-NL National OS Week 2025

The Dutch Network of Open Science Communities (OSC-NL) is organizing a National Open Science Week from 22 to 26 September 2025  to celebrate and recognize the crucial role of Open Science in the advancement of science. The OSCT also participates in this week by (co-)organizing various events at the University of Twente and at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences during this week. Here you can read about the highlights of the OSC-NL National OS Week 2024.

Arjan Zemann, Directeur Academie Creatieve Technologie (Saxion)

The Academy of Creative Technology at Saxion wants to be leading in the field of creative, technological, and media applications in the East of the Netherlands. I truly believe that we can only achieve this by creating more inclusive, accessible, transparent and credible knowledge that also fosters trust in (applied) science.

Program

Monday (22-09)

13:00 - 16:30: Recognition & Rewards Talkshow
Location: tba

13:30 - 14:30: Making research findable: A hands-on workshop
Location: D3.02 at Handelskade 75, Deventer (Saxion)
Speaker: Renske de Leeuw
Visibility starts with you! Do you want your research to be truly discoverable and reusable? In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how simple steps, like adding Creative Commons licenses and persistent identifiers (PID's, such as ORCID and DOIs), can significantly boost the visibility and impact of your work. We will combine learning with action by playing (short) games focused on licensing and PIDs. Discover how to make your research open, accessible, and future-proof, so that you increase your impact. Join the workshop and make your science findable!

Tuesday (23-09)

12:45 - 13:30: Toasti Talk about Citizen Science
Location: DesignLab at UT
The Citizen Science Hub Twente will share how you can involve citizens in your research, the benefits of doing so, and how the hub can support you. A UT researcher will also share their personal experience with citizen science – the challenges, the impact, and the added value it brought to their project.Bring your curiosity – and enjoy a tosti while you’re at it!

Wednesday (24-09)

12:45 - 13:30: YET - DIY eye tracking on a budget
Location: LA 2409 at UT
Speaker: Martin Schmettow
Eye tracking devices are routinely used in industry and academia to study human visual cognition. However, modern eye tackers are closed systems and very expensive. The YET (Your Eye Tracker) system is a basic open source eye tracking system that anyone can build in an hour at the cost of a dinner. In my talk I will first address the theoretical ideas of YET and explain how its innovative algorithm works. After a live demonstration, I will introduce the idea of bio-convergent devices and how they can help to understand how the humans evolved the ability to read each others glance directions.
