Additionally, these meetings strive to engage researchers in the activities of working groups, understand and compare Open Science support practices at various institutions, and apply these insights within the initiative.
The discussions among participants in Olomouc focused on collaboration opportunities and identifying areas where the initiative could provide support. Particular emphasis was placed on educational opportunities in the field of open science and research data management, offered by the EOSC CZ Training Center. This center provides Open Science centers at universities and research institutions the chance to organize tailored educational events.
"For EOSC CZ, it is crucial to get to know representatives of the Czech research ecosystem, including their habits and needs in the area of research data management. Direct contact with scientists and university representatives is invaluable in this regard, and we are very grateful to Palacký University for the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences and visions," said the secretary of the initiative, Jaroslav Juráček.
