The IUPUI Community for Open Research and Education is launching an invited virtual speaker series. Comprised of faculty, graduate students, researchers, and librarians, the IUPUI Community for Open Research and Education is interested in fostering a culture at IUPUI where scholarship is open by design through building partnerships, education, training, resource development, and advocacy.
To better understand how open approaches work for IUPUI faculty and students, this virtual series invites campus educators, researchers, and students to panel discussions where they share their experiences with various aspects of the open movement. By highlighting IUPUI’s open work and the challenges to that work, the IUPUI Community for Open Research and Education hopes to develop a network for interested people that can share solutions, advocate for change, and foster opportunities for open research and education at IUPUI.
