Call for workshops

OS FAIR 2023 will give the possibility to selected projects, organisations and initiatives to organise a workshop addressing any of the topics of the conference.

OS FAIR 2023 provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of work related to the foundational or more concrete aspects of Open Science: from policy formulation and implementation, infrastructure and service provisioning to turn Open Science into practice, to building and sustaining the human element to support it in the long run.

The OS FAIR 2023 organising committee invites proposals for workshops which may vary between 90, 120 and 180 minutes.
