Celebrating open science: key moments and photos from Groningen 2025 | Open Science NL The Open Science Festival 2025 took place on 24 October at University Medical Center Groningen, attracting some 400 attendees, including researchers, educators, professional research support staff and policymakers, all eager to share and learn about open science practices.

We look back on a truly successful Netherlands Open Science Festival in Groningen last Friday. Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Development of an open science monitor for the Netherlands underway | Open Science NL The development of a national open science monitor for the Netherlands has officially started with a project meeting held in Leiden on 9 October. With funding from Open Science NL, the consortium comprising CWTS and Dialogic will develop a robust, context-specific framework for monitoring and evaluation, as well as a prototype dashboard to visualise such an open science monitor.

Get involved in an Open Science Monitor for the Netherlands! A consortium with @cwtsnl.bsky.social and Dialogic, funded by us, is developing a framework and dashboard in co-creation with the community. Your input is highly appreciated: www.openscience.nl/en/news/deve...

Five Dutch journals β€˜flip’ to diamond open access | NWO Five scientific journals have received a grant from NWO to switch from a subscription model. They will adopt the diamond open access model: a form of open access in which not only is the content freely available to readers, but authors also do not have to pay to publish their articles. The NWO executive board has allocated a total of over 187,000 euros for this.

Five Dutch journals are flipping to #DiamondOpenAccess with support from NWO β€” free to read and publish. An inspiring step towards a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable research ecosystem. Making research accessible to everyone, everywhere.

I'm very pleased to announce that @cwts.nl and Dialogic will develop an Open Science monitoring framework and prototype dashboard for the Netherlands in the coming 2 years.

@opensciencenl.bsky.social has selected the consortium through a European tender (outlined OSNL 2024–2025 work programme).

The goal? To better track and support the transition to open science β€” and to help make open science the norm in Dutch research.
A robust framework + prototype dashboard will be created over 2 years, under a €330,000 contract.
Start: Fall 2025.
