Digital Challenges in Open Science
The Dutch National eScience Symposium is a one-day event where academic researchers, industry representatives and policy-makers from various disciplines come together to discuss and share views on the latest developments in eScience.
Using digital technologies to advance Open Science
The systematic change of the practice of science is made possible only by a close collaboration between practitioners, policy-makers and the designers and developers of new digital solutions and tools. In particular, the role of research software and support is essential. The 2019 National eScience Symposium is an opportunity for anyone working in academia, industry, research funding, research publishing, and research policy to engage in fruitful discussions with advanced technology experts. It is the place for knowledge exchange on these topics, and to help shape and define the future of Open Science.
Topics
The symposium will feature thematic sessions showcasing world-class research and digital developments around Open Science. Topics include digital challenges in open science, the role of open science in space and earth research, and the European Open Science Cloud. In addition, the symposium will showcase several demos of cutting-edge research software developed by the eScience Center and her partners, as well as the announcement of the Young eScientist Award 2019.
Young eScientist Award 2019
Each year, young and ambitious researchers can participate in the Young eScientist Award competition. The award aims to stimulate a young scientist demonstrating excellence in eScience: the development or application of digital technology to address scientific challenges. The Netherlands eScience Center awards €50,000 worth of expertise to the winner. At the symposium the Young eScientist 2019 will be announced.
