This briefing note presents the main results of Module 5 of the RIS4CIVIS Project, focused on mainstreaming Open Science across CIVIS Alliance member universities, together with four case studies (an Open Science Knowledge Base, a database of OS Trainings, the CIVIS OS Award, and the Research Assessment Reform) and a policy recommendation to fund conversation on good OS practices at European level.

”Open Science” is an expression that slowly becomes mainstream, moving away from the discussions taking place in dedicated groups in the academia, to a way of describing scientific practice at large. Open Science (OS) is about how science is practiced, how scientific results are disseminated and communicated, and, more general, it covers a plethora of new approaches in research and education.

It expresses a cultural change that allows researchers to foster new collaborative work while using the advantages of new technologies and digital tools.

The action plan of Module 5 in RIS4CIVIS and our recommendations consider all these aspects, which are promoted through four case studies:

  • The creation of an OS Knowledge Base
  • A database with OS Trainings
  • The CIVIS OS Award
  • The Research Assessment Reform

  • IMAGINING HOMELAND: PALMYRA'S (IN)TANGIBLE HERITAGE AND THE VOICES OF DISPLACEMENT

    This volume is a monograph documenting the virtual reconstruction projects of the Temple of Baalshamin, one of the most significant forms of tangible heritage belonging to the Syrian community, destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks. Through a series of workshops with Syrian communities—including refugees, displaced persons, and individuals who have experienced either forced or voluntary migration—the virtual reconstruction is presented as a process that supports social inclusion and the reconstruction of cultural identity.
