MEET OSCO

Once upon a time, there was an INOSC.
INOSC created a network.
A network of local communities for people to learn how to make research more open.
Open science communities are nowadays spread across the world.
The world where the Czech Republic is not left behind.
OSCO at Palacký University Olomouc is here the first of its kind.
But it has its allies.
Allies of Aurora open science communities.

OSCO VISION

Open Science (OS) offers a new perspective of producing, sharing and communicating knowledge and research results and improves science's quality, efficiency, and reproducibility. However, OS has been shaped into various concepts, initiatives and sources, which can be overwhelming and making human beings feel dizzy and lost. Therefore, OSCO leads everyone through the OS world as simply, understandably and entertainingly as possible.

WHAT WE DO

Building and developing an open science community unfolds in 4 stages. Palacký University Olomouc launched the 1st stage, Prepare & Launch, when joining the OSC Incubator Program in the fall edition of 2022/2023, which guided participants to prepare their local communities. OSCO was officially launched on April 26, 2023, during a panel discussion titled "Challenges and Echoes of Open Science," organized as a part of the Academia Film Olomouc Festival 58. Currently, OSCO is in the 2nd stage, Grow & Inspire. We are building a network of people interested in OS and bridging the gap between students, researchers and research support. We aim to create a diverse and collaborative environment where all members can engage, enhance their skills, contribute with their perspectives and experience and provide tailored support. We are also establishing and enhancing OS knowledge and skills via courses and supporting collaboration and sharing of best practices via various events. Moreover, we are on Discord!
