* For Blended learning options, please use the ROSiE online training course .
Aim
The training materials have been specifically designed to equip students, researchers, and citizen scientists with the necessary skills to engage in Responsible Open Science practices.
Developed for a comprehensive 2-day training program, these materials prioritize the critical aspects of Research Ethics and Research Integrity within the realm of open science.
The effectiveness of the training materials has been validated through rigorous testing in diverse institutional and educational settings, such as universities, research centers, and civil society organizations, all with a shared focus on Open Science.
To ensure optimal learning outcomes, the ROSiE training materials employ a range of proven and impactful learning and teaching strategies. These strategies, carefully chosen by the authors for their effectiveness and utility, include collaborative problem-solving, case-based activities, dialogical activities, and transformative learning.
Topics Included
- Ethical and societal foundations of open science, its purpose
- The quality of the research outputs and data sets
- Protection of research participants’ rights in open science
- Prevention of research malpractices in the context of open science
- Responsible sharing and use of open data
- Responsible dissemination/publication practices
- Protection of intellectual property in the context of open science
