#shareEGU20: open and FAIR your science
Channel: European Geosciences Union
Date: 04/05/2020

Practising open and FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable – research allows scientists, decision-makers, and the broader public to better access science and engineering research and understand its broader impacts. Furthermore, it can increase the impact of your work and benefit your research community. 

This Short Course takes the form of a podcast with the conveners offering insights for both those just starting to practice open and FAIR practices and those with more experience. The conveners (listed below) touch upon the benefits of and paths toward open and FAIR science while addressing challenges by discussing the current state of science and own their experiences.
