The OLS program is for people interested in applying open principles in their work and becoming Open Science ambassadors in their communities.
About
This is a 16-week long personal mentorship and cohort-based training, where participants (organisers, hosts, mentors and project leads/mentees) of this program will:
- share their expertise and gain knowledge essential to create, lead, and sustain an Open Science project
- connect with members across different projects, communities, backgrounds, and identities
- empower each other to become effective Open Science ambassadors in their communities
Participants join this program with a project that they either are already working on or want to develop during this program individually or in teams.
