Training for Open Science – get involved! | FOSTER

"The FOSTER project (Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research, http://www.fosteropenscience.eu/) aims to support different stakeholders, especially young researchers, in practicing open access, open data sharing and open science.

The first call is issued in February 2014 for events in June – December 2014, and the second call will be issued in October 2014 for events in 2015. Do you feel you can effectively train on open science topics? Can you make a difference? We are now inviting proposals to host FOSTER training events on open access, open data and open science to be held from June to December 2014. FOSTER will provide limited co-funding for events.
