Keynote - Simone Buitendijk - Knowledge Equity Network

Global challenges require a collective response. The Knowledge Equity Network, founded by Simone Buitendijk (vice-chancellor University of Leeds) need to break down the barriers that prevent equitable access to knowledge across institutions and geopolitical boundaries.

Open Science Bazaar

During the Open Science Bazaar we share experiences, problems, frustrations, successes or failures in the field of open science. An opportunity to discuss, inspire, get feedback, test, challenge and surprise colleagues.

 

  • Visit the Railway Museum!

    Before the start of the programme, you will have the opportunity to visit the museum (free of charge). Get inspired by this fascinating place where you will learn how the train changed the world.
