Open Research Conference 2024

In 2024 we came together to ask the question:

"How can Open Research contribute to positive Culture Change in Research more broadly?"

We had a great day of talks, poster sessions, and networking. All of the slides and posters for the conference are now available on in the conference journal, along with recordings on mediahopper.
