At the latest now, with the start of the EU's Horizon Europe funding programme, Open Science is a prerequisite for successful applications. But other funding bodies also increase their funding when projects use Open Science methods. Science should be open, data should be accessible and the public should be involved. Although Open Science is gaining more importance than ever, the definition and the methods that are counted as such are often unclear.

In the webinar part of this event, which will be hold in English, the most important aspects of Open Science will be presented by experts and the definitions of the different Open Science aspects  of the European Commission will be explained. This introduction is intended to provide applicants and National Contact Points with a foundation for implementing or advising on Open Science methods.

Building on this basis, the following workshop will deal directly with the application process. Together, we will fill out the form for an imaginary project for a current Horizon Europe call and discuss important formulations for the inclusion of Open Science methods in the application text.
