The Open Seeds program by OLS is for people interested in applying open principles in their work and becoming Open Science ambassadors in their communities.
About
This is a 16-week long personal mentorship and cohort-based training, where participants (organisers, hosts, mentors and project leads/mentees) of this program will:
- share their expertise and gain knowledge essential to create, lead, and sustain an Open Science project
- connect with members across different projects, communities, backgrounds, and identities
- empower each other to become effective Open Science ambassadors in their communities
Participants join this program with a project that they either are already working on or want to develop during this program individually or in teams.
Applications
OLS-8 runs from September 2023 to January 2024. We are not sure if we will run OLS-9 in the same format - see our blog post. Sign up to our low-traffic news list to get updates.
