Open Science
CHARM-EU promotes transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in scientific research.
Open science training
This session will provide CHARM-EU universities with best practice and expertise in Open Science. The morning session will cover how university leaders can mainstream Open Science. The afternoon session will give ready-to-use knowledge to researchers and staff members.
Context
Skills training is key to enable Open Science practices to take root in universities.
This online workshop helps university leaders to understand the principles and best practices of Open Science and how they and their teams can help to implement a culture of Open Science in their institutions. Academics share their experience in fields connected to Open Science, particularly next-generation metrics, transparency, FAIR data management, research integrity, and Citizen Science.
1st Open Science training
The first Open Science training took place the 9th June 2023. More information about the training.
2nd Open Science training
The second Open Science training took place the 26th October 2023. More information about the training.

open science award
The Open Science Recognition Award recognises the contributions of individuals who have demonstrated a strong commitment to Open Science. Submissions are open to all teachers and researchers from the CHARM-EU partner universities until 15 September 2023.
Open Science represents a fundamental shift in the way knowledge is created, shared and utilized. It encompasses the principles of transparency, inclusivity and collaboration, thereby fostering innovation and societal impact. Dedicated to promoting Open Science as a crucial pillar of its mission, CHARM-EU is delighted to announce the first edition of its Open Science Recognition Award.
Eligibility
All individuals engaged in research or teaching in the CHARM-EU member universities who have worked with Open Science are invited to apply for the CHARM-EU Open Science Recognition Award. We welcome applications from all academic disciplines.
Submission Requirements
To apply for the Award, interested individuals must submit a concise, one-page description of their Open Science-related activities. The description should outline the initiatives, projects, or research endeavours undertaken to promote and advance Open Science principles. Applicants are encouraged to highlight their contributions in areas such as open access publishing, data sharing, open educational resources, citizen science, open source software, or any other relevant field. Applicants are requested to provide links, if available, in evidence of their online Open Science activity.

open science action list
The CHARM-EU Alliance has created an action list to advance Open Science practices. This initiative promotes transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in scientific research.
The action list serves as a guide for researchers, institutions, and policymakers to integrate Open Science principles, fostering a more inclusive and innovative research landscape. Learn more about how you can contribute to the Open Science movement on the CHARM-EU website.
Open Science Survey and Gap Analysis
After presenting the detailed analysis of the survey responses, along with the raw data, we provide a set of recommended actions to enhance and promote each pillar of Open Science. The shared experiences, best practices, solutions, and strategies outlined in this document aim to assist alliance members in reducing local barriers and advancing the adoption of Open Science within their research communities.
Citizen Science
The CHARM-EU Alliance is leading citizen science training initiatives across European universities. These initiatives aim to engage the public in scientific research, fostering collaboration between scientists and citizens.
CHARM-EU‘s training and resources are here to enable you to contribute to meaningful scientific discoveries and innovations.
reforming research assesment
Many existing practices built to recognise and nurture RRI practices are fragmented and may act as barriers to engagement. This report identifies a need to reconsider research assessment and recognition and to identify opportunities where RRI activities could be better supported and recognised, with the researcher at the heart of any decision-making.
