Open Science training

The University of Milan embraces and supports the principles and actions of Open Science, a global movement that seeks to make science production, validation, dissemination and evaluation processes available and transparent, through research review and reproducibility.

For this reason, it was decided to set up a training space dedicated to the university community (doctoral students, assignees, students, faculty, admistrative staff).

The courses are by the Performance, Quality Assurance, Assessment, and Open Science Policy Division, which is responsible for supporting all open science activities and governance decisions on these important issues.

Training will be on platform Teams.

last Friday of the month

Our University has launched the "Open Science: basic principles" badge for students of Master's and single-cycle degree programmes who have followed the training course promoted by the University of Milan on Open science and research data management (Open Access, Fair data).

The open badge will be awarded to all those who will participate in at least 70% of the training course organized by the University of Milan. This course is currently available to students of Master's degree programmes in Social, Political and Economic Sciences (SPES), Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics, Chemistry, Humanities.

Please check our dedicated web page on Bestr for details on the proposed badges and the corresponding skills.

Our University attaches great importance to the training of PhD students on open science issues. A specific open science course is offered as part of soft skills courses and training. These seminars cover the issues of the openness of science, with a focus on accessibility, reproducibility and transparency.

A pilot project launched in 2020, with the aim of training PhD students and their tutors in FAIR data management, and teaching them how to draft a data management plan for their research projects. So far, 20 PhD students from different academic fields and departments have taken part in the pilot project.

We offer specific (elective) training on the subject of research data management.
