OSWG Mission Statement (Draft)
co-creating open practices at Freie Universität Berlin
We believe in accessible knowledge as key for collaboration and cultural progress. While connecting communities of practice beyond organizational barriers, we allow an regular discourse of excellence about the frames that foster access, reuse, and transparency of scientific output. It is our mission to explore the foundations of Open Science at FU Berlin - and to advocate them towards the university's administration.
Therefore we:
- Connect all people interested in Open Science at Freie Universität, by organizing Talks, Events, and Workshops.
- Take an active part in the dialog on Open Science, by joining local and international events.
- Gather best practices that make future policies sustainable, by building up an interactive body of helpful tools and guidelines.
