EUMEDPlus Project Workshop: Open Science Policy Writing

Organized by SESAME and ASREN

As part of the EUMEDPlus project, SESAME and ASREN are pleased to host a dedicated workshop specifically focused on the development and writing of Open Science policies. This workshop aims to equip regional practitioners and policy-makers with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively draft, implement, and promote open science policies within their institutions.

Currently, underscoring the critical need for clear and effective policies that support open access to research data, findings, tools, software, and educational resources are demanding. Policies guided by the FAIR principles—findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—ensure that research is transparent, reproducible, and efficiently advances scientific discovery.

Recognizing regional contexts, This workshop will offer practical guidance tailored to the unique regulatory and institutional frameworks of the region.

The EUMEDPlus Project Workshop will include:

• Interactive sessions on the principles and best practices of open science policy writing.
• Practical workshops on drafting policy documents, including addressing legal, ethical, and operational considerations.
• Expert-led discussions on overcoming challenges specific to regional institutions.

SESAME and ASREN invite all regional stakeholders involved in policy-making, research administration, and scientific management to participate in this workshop. Together, participants will advance the region's commitment to openness, transparency, and collaborative scientific practice.

This workshop is a vital component of the EUMEDPlus project's ongoing efforts to strengthen regional collaboration and promote sustainable, equitable open science practices across institutions and borders.
