Knowledge institutions take action on open science in recruitment and promotion policies | Open Science NL 23 Dutch knowledge institutions are taking steps to recognise and reward open science. On 13 December, the Open Science NL Steering Board approved a total of 1.2 million euros in grants. This funding ...

Big news!

Today we announce that 23 research organisations in the NLs have received a grant from @opensciencenl.bsky.social to include #openscience criteria in their hiring and promotion policies.

www.openscience.nl/en/news/know...

Really proud to have worked with the #OpenScience NL team to spread the joy of infrastructure roles like community managers, data stewards and research engineers improving open science skills for 23 teams in the Netherlands. What an inspiring national effort to improve open & FAIR practices. 🎉🎄

Extra post to say, The Turing Way receives support from the Turing that funds a few staff & events, but 1000+ community members are volunteers & affiliated to different orgs: book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/co...

The @turingway.bsky.social belongs to the community, & is always a work in progress.

Thank you Anne Lee Steele, our Research Community Manager, for formalising WGs in @turingway.bsky.social as well as facilitating nominations - hidden work in recognising others hidden work.
