Launch Event: Open Science and its role in universities
On 12 June the League of European Research Universities (LERU) will launch a new advice paper, entitled ‘Open Science and its role in universities: a roadmap for cultural change’.
This advice paper looks into the cultural change needed within universities –and other institutions- to embrace Open Science.
