Webinar Materials: How a community of practice can support your research

This item contains 3 presentations, that are given during the webinar ´How a community of practice can support your research´. The webinar took place on the 14th of May 2025. This webinar is organized by the Open Science team at SciLifeLab Data Centre.

Topic
What role does community play in advancing open science? Join us for a webinar exploring how Communities of Practice (CoPs) can support researchers in implementing open science and integrate the FAIR principles into their work, and thereby enhance the visibility, reproducibility, and impact of their research.

This session will highlight real-world examples of successful Communities of Practice and the value they bring to researchers and institutions alike. We will also share how these stories have inspired us at SciLifeLab to plan our own Community of Practice, with the goal of fostering a more collaborative, open, and supportive research culture.

Presenters:

• Josh Gottesman (Michael J. Fox Foundation)
• Bogdana-Raluca Huma (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam & Community of Practice for Open Naturally Occurring Data)
• Mirjam Walpot (SciLifeLab Data Centre; International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities).
