Boost Your Research – Go Open!
Open Science, just another buzz word to you? Most probably not. You do know about Open Access (either through your funder or through your institution). And you surely have heard about Open Science (think the Human Genome Project, Digital Humanities, NASA Earth Exchange and many others).
To introduce you to the concepts, jargon and benefits of ‘Going Open’, KU Leuven heralds the 2014 edition of the International Open Access Week themed “Generation Open” with a Boo(s)tcamp Open Science on Friday 24 October, with the financial support of the EC.
