Let’s talk !
At EPFL, we believe that Open Science is everyone’s concern, from first-year Bachelor students to senior researchers, staff and services.
We want to make sure everyone has a voice in shaping the science of tomorrow so that our research, education and innovation become more inclusive, trustworthy and impactful.
In 2023, the EPFL Open Science office is launching several series of events aimed at showcasing great OS projects on campus and beyond, consulting the community on how to best improve our practices and providing a flourishing environment that fosters debate and solutions.
