Library Blue Room

This participatory workshop asks: how do we get hesitant, indifferent, or reluctant colleagues on board, especially in the SSH? Through facilitated discussion and co-creation, participants diagnose what keeps some researchers and educators disengaged and develop practical strategies for more inclusive open science engagement.

A collectively produced shortlist of practical strategies for engaging non-enthusiast colleagues, grounded in participants’ own lived experiences. If time allows: the beginning of a network of people across Dutch institutions working on this specific inclusion gap.

Through facilitated discussion and co-creation, participants diagnose what keeps some researchers and educators disengaged and develop practical strategies for more inclusive open science engagement.
