Just released, the EUPeace Education for Open Science Strategy presents a shared vision for embedding openness, transparency, and collaboration into teaching and learning across the Alliance.
Responding to the growing importance of digital transformation and responsible knowledge practices, the strategy highlights the crucial role of universities in enabling students and educators to engage with Open Science from an early stage. It provides a common framework for integrating principles such as open access publishing, FAIR data management, reproducible approaches, and participatory knowledge creation into learning formats across all disciplines.
Strengthening teaching and learning through Open Science
Building on existing educational initiatives within partner universities, the strategy serves as a Declaration of Intent that encourages dialogue, mutual learning, and coordinated development. Rather than prescribing uniform solutions, it supports flexible approaches that reflect disciplinary diversity and institutional contexts.
Empowering educators as key multipliers
By focusing on peer learning and Train-the-Trainer approaches, the strategy lays the foundation for a sustainable and inclusive Open Science teaching culture. Educators are recognised as key actors in embedding open practices into everyday teaching and learning, thereby shaping future generations of learners.
