Open Science conference

Published by Simon Benjamin on

Simon recently ran a conference on Open Science, with help from others in the QuNaT team: ‘Rigour and Openness in 21st Century Science’. Over 30 speakers gathered to discuss the cutting edge of digital innovations in publishing, how openness is set to improve standards in science, and the British government’s new policies on open access. Keynote speakers included Chief Scientific Adviser Mark Walport and Minister David Willetts. All the talks are now available to watch freely on iTunes U over on RigourAndOpenness.org.
