Indigenous rights in research (publishing) pondered by Trond Trosterud & Linda Wiechetek - how to implement #CARE and #FAIR for real? Serious questions, these ones. #Munin2025 www.gida-global.org/care

“CARE & FAIR: Opposing or Aligning Concerns?“, Else Grete Broderstad continues on pondering research ethics, from Sámi perspective. One has to consider carefully, how to implement FAIR but also CARE esp. when dealing with indigenous cultures. #Munin2025 #ResearchEthics #VulnerableCommunities

Live now at #Munin2025! 🔵🌿

Our panel Indigenous Rights in Research is underway, led by Torjer A. Olsen with Sheryl Lightfoot, Susanna Siri & Else Grete Broderstad.

So good to be back in Tromsø for #Munin2025 Always a diverse and inspiring occasion, and this is no exception. Fantastic keynote this morning from @tweissgerber.bsky.social on Open Methods, talking to us about this we all know from very fresh perspectives. Lots to digest from other sessions.

Next on stage Milda Baltrimienė podering abt #multilingualism in research. #HelsinkiInitiative is one fine initiative, but it has some cons, too. Ahoy @jpolonen.bsky.social Milda's abstract: doi.org/10.7557/5.8164
