Open Science at the Faculty of Science
The Faculty Open Science Team (FOST), with dean Isabel Arends as Chair, operates among the colleagues on the work floor and in close cooperation with the UU-wide Open Science programme and the Open Science Community Utrecht (OSCU).
Members Of The Faculty Open Science Team
- Isabel Arends (chair)
- Maura Burke (faculty ambassador OSCU, Open Education fellow)
- Gil Cavalcanti (member Open Science Platform, Open Education fellow)
- Claudia Cozijnsen (HR advisor, Recognition & Rewards fellow)
- Toine Egberts (Recognition & Rewards fellow)
- Ginny Farias Galdames (Open Access fellow)
- Ioanna Lykourentzou (Fair Data&Software fellow)

The team members aim to arrive at an effective implementation of the five UU Open Science themes in consultation with everyone at the faculty.
The FOST intends to do this in several ways:
- Set up frameworks for rolling out Open Science within the faculty;
- Collect ideas from colleagues about the implementation of Open Science;
- Inform faculty members, for example about the support of RDM support considering FAIR data;
- Remove barriers to Open Science, e.g. to Open Access publishing;
- Provide knowledge and practical tools, to learn from one another.
Themes
The FOST operates on the themes the UU Open Science Programme works on:
Open Access
Research results and data are accessible for society and fellow scientists.
