On September 1st, researcher Jule van den Berg started her PhD at IDEA Center on inclusive research. In Strategy 2030, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam is committed to being an Engaged University - working with society to create positive societal impact. Open science emphasises the need to tackle societal challenges by opening up scientific processes and encouraging collaborations.
However, what open science means and how it should be implemented are still open to interpretation. It remains multilayered, allowing researchers and policymakers to ascribe their own meanings and be selective in their focus points. Furthermore, even less attention is paid to systematic barriers and inequalities that can accompany open science. So, it raises questions about to whom and how the scientific process is truly opened.
Jule van den Berg: “I’m enthusiastic for this opportunity to further explore these questions and investigate how to ensure that inclusive research practices can be applied throughout the entire scientific process. I’m looking forward to doing this together with prof. dr. Jane Murray Cramm, prof. dr. Semiha Denktaş, and dr. Helen Tibboel.”
