Seminaarit ja konferenssit: Open Humanities – The challenges and possibilities of Open Science for research in the humanities

The international Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Faculty of Arts is visiting the Faculty at the end of November. In connection to the visit, we are organizing a seminar on the challenges and possibilities of Open Science for research in the humanities.

Open Science refers to practices and principles regarding the ways that research is carried out, how researchers collaborate and share their knowledge, and how science and scholarship are organized. It aims at increased transparency, research integrity, inclusiveness and networked collaboration and, as a result, at higher impact and better quality of research. In practice, Open Science means, for example, open access to both publications as well as the data and resources that they are based on. But what does this mean for the humanities? In the seminar, the members of the SAB as well as researchers from the Faculty present their individual viewpoints for discussion on the specific challenges and possibilities that Open Science presents to humanities research.
