Putting Open Science into practice | EU-LIFE

"EU-LIFE strongly advocates for the key role of research and innovation organizations in the promotion of excellent open science and supports its full implementation, particularly in the context of the European Research Area (ERA).

Our most recent contribution, primarily aimed at the scientific community, is the EMBO reports paper Involving society in science. Reflections on meaningful and impactful stakeholder engagement in fundamental research. It was drafted in collaboration with the LifeTime and Orion Open Science projects and presents inspiring examples of stakeholder engagement from EU-LIFE institutes, including activities with funding agencies, citizen associations, patients and policymakers.

The paper discusses different levels of stakeholder engagement by presenting various activities organized by EU-LIFE research institutes. Based on these experiences, the paper proposes ten reflection points for scientists and institutions to involve the public and other stakeholders in a meaningful and impactful way."
