About the workshop:

This workshop is designed for PhD candidates from across the 4EU+ Alliance and aims to provide an introduction to the evolving landscape of Open Science and scholarly communication. Building on a practical Open Access toolkit, adapted to reflect the policies, infrastructures, and implementation practices of the different 4EU+ institutions, participants will explore the main publishing models, including Green, Gold, Diamond Open Access and preprints. The workshop will also examine emerging approaches to research dissemination and evaluation, with a focus on Review then Publish and Publish–Review–Curate models. Through discussion and exchange, participants will develop a shared understanding of responsible publishing practices and contribute to future cross-institutional dialogue on research methods and scholarly communication.

The webinar is organised in the context of 1CORE – Task 3.3: Creating 4EU+ environment for PhD candidates.

The movement for open science is transforming the academic world. In response, the 4EU+ training programme meets the growing demand for transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration by exploring a broad range of practices, such as open peer review, FAIR and open data, open software, and citizen science. In 2026, we invite you to explore the basics of open science in our introductory webinars followed by six specialized workshops between March and June.
