DESCRIPTION:Marta Teperek : Dr Marta Teperek did a PhD in molecular biolog
 y at the University of Cambridge. Having first-hand experience of problems
  that researchers face on a day-to-day basis\, with the journals’ impact
  factor\, and not the quality of the research process\, dictating the futu
 re of their academic career\, Marta decided to get professionally involved
  in advocating for Open Research and for better reproducibility in science
 . In 2015 she joined the University of Cambridge and led the creation and 
 development of the Research Data Management Facility\, supporting research
 ers at the University of Cambridge in good management and sharing of resea
 rch data. While at Cambridge\, Marta initiated and overseen the Data Champ
 ions programme and the Open Research Pilot. In August 2017 Marta will move
  to TU Delft in Netherlands\, where she will lead the Research Data Stewar
 dship project. Sünje Dallmeier-Tiessen: Sünje is the data coordinator in
  the Scientific Information Service at CERN. Together with her colleagues 
 she builds services to enable researchers to practice Open Science and to 
 take steps towards reproducible research. As part of this the CERN Open Da
 ta Portal (opendata.cern.ch) emerged and a new service called CERN Analysi
 s Preservation is under development. Both pay particular attention to the 
 challenge of future reusability and reproducibility of research outputs\, 
 e.g. through easy and comprehensive preservation of data\, code etc... She
  holds a PhD in Information Science. Her previous positions in publishing 
 and research management made her realize the need to build Open Science "w
 orkflows" that incentivize sharing and that integrate well into research e
 nvironments. Hence\, she co-chaired the RDA Data Publishing Workflows grou
 p and serves on several boards of national and international bodies. This 
 work\, together with a research stay at IQSS at Harvard University in 2015
 \, enabled her to study data publishing practices beyond disciplinary boun
 daries. Lucia Prieto : Lucia is a FEBS postdoctoral fellow at CIG in Lausa
 nne University. Her current research focuses on the genetic basis of olfac
 tory pathway evolution in Drosophila. She will soon move to London\, UK to
  start her group at the Francis Crick Institute. She obtained her B.A. fro
 m the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid\, where she did her research thesis o
 n olfactory processing in flies. After a summer working on vision evolutio
 n in box jellyfish at Lund University\, she joined the University of Cambr
 idge for her PhD. She co-founded TReND in Africa\, an organisation support
 ing sustainable development through higher education and scientific innova
 tion.\nThis free event took place in the Rolex Learning Center from Monday
  25th to Thursday 28th September at 6pm on the EPFL Campus (Rolex Learning
  Center). Following the programme of the Open Science Summer School\, eac
 h day focused on a specific aspect of Open Science: landscape\, publicatio
 ns\, research data\, code and tools.\n\nThe main goal was to encourage a c
 onstructive thinking and stimulate discussions about Open Science\, offeri
 ng every evening two or three short public talks followed by an aperitif\,
  to allow participants exchange in an informal and convivial context.\nThe
  event was open to EPFL community\, as well as all those who wanted to le
 arn more about Open Science\, getting an overview of its main stakes and t
 he related evolution of academic research.\n \nWatch the playlist of all
  talks given by specialists in the Open Science field on Youtube.\n\n6.10
 PM "Championing through action - innovative ways of engaging researchers w
 ith Open Science" by Marta Teperek (PRESENTATION)\nAbstract: Increasingly 
 institutions across the world are looking for innovative ways of effective
 ly engaging researchers with Open Science agenda to help facilitate cultur
 al change. Efforts are needed to help win hearts and minds as mandates alo
 ne are ineffective. In this talk Marta will highlight some examples of inn
 ovative ways for communication and engagement with researchers from the Un
 iversity of Cambridge\, TU Delft and other institutions.\n\n6.30PM  "Data 
 Publishing: easy\, comprehensive\, with impact" by Sünje Dallmeier-Tiesse
 n (PRESENTATION)\nAbstract: Sharing data and getting credit for it? Not un
 heard of these days. Thanks to quite a few tools and services out there\, 
 it became much easier to share data in a reliable way. The presentation wi
 ll showcase a few places or workflows that make it easy to document and pu
 blish data in a way so that others can access\, understand\, assess and re
 use the data. Knowing that it takes a little bit of time to take such step
 s\, more and more workflows emerge that help getting some credit or visibi
 lity for such shared materials. That's why particular emphasis will be giv
 en to tools like ORCID that can help bringing the own research output\, fr
 om papers to data and code\, into the spotlight.\n\n6.50PM  « How Open 
 Science is changing the world\, and how you can take part »  Lucia Priet
 o (PRESENTATION)\nEvery scientist is familiar with Open Scientific Softwar
 e such as ImageJ or R-project. Developed by contributors worldwide\, these
  freely available programs revolutionised the way scientists could analyse
  their data. But\, what about hardware? If the community can build their o
 wn scientific software\, the step to scientific hardware (“Open Labware
 ”) is but a small one. I will talk about how openly sharing information 
 is changing the world with a special focus on Open Labware. I will present
  examples from various initiatives and projects\, including my own experie
 nce working with African scientists to promote affordable bio-medical rese
 arch and teaching in the continent through a non-profit organisation I fou
 nded. Importantly\, I hope to convince you that everyone can contribute an
 d make a difference independently of your level of expertise\, and I will 
 introduce a few essential tools to get started.\n
