In the coming years, Open Science will play an even more important role in education and research and thus will inevitably impact the way we teach and do research in the future. Among other universities in the Netherlands and as a member of 4TU, the University of Twente (UT) is actively involved in furthering and shaping Open Science at the UT.
Against this background, the Open Science Community Twente (OSCT) and the Digital Competence Centre (DCC) launched a series of monthly joint events, the so-called joint OSCT-DCC events. These events take approximately 60 minutes with changing topics that are free for everybody. The goals of these events are to:
- provide a space to discuss topics in the context of Open Science,
- make people think about Open Science regularly, and
- present current developments people at UT and Saxion University should know about.
Moreover, these events hopefully help to get to know each other better, also across departments.
Since the OSCT is a bottom-up community, you have also power over the events' topics. Hence, feel free to suggest topics that should be discussed and bring in any ideas you have in mind. Just fill out the form and tell us about your idea. This also applies to the monthly newsletter and the blog posts to which you can contribute.
Looking forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming events ;)
Upcoming Events
4TU Roadshow Co-organized by OSCT and DCC

Where: LA 2310 (Langezijds at the UT)
Abstract:
Our 4TU.ResearchData Roadshow is back this year! We will be again touring our partner universities – TU Delft, University of Twente, Eindhoven University and Wageningen University – to engage and highlight the importance of joining our community; and exchange ideas with researchers and university staff. This year, we’ll explore how to publish software and data in our repository – helping you make your research more accessible and properly credited. Bring your own data or software and join our hands-on sandbox session, where you can apply best practices for publishing.
Programme:
11:00 – 11:30: 4TU.ResearchData repository presentation
10:45 – 12:30: Live DEMO + Bring your own data/code
12:30 – 13:00: Lunch
Member initiatives
Contributions from the community are key to the success of our OSCT. We consequently strongly encourage our members to initiate and organize their own events related to Open Science, e.g., workshops and hackathons. Member initiatives will be announced on this website and promoted through social media. If you have an idea in mind, please send us a message.
