Open Science Throughout the Research Lifecycle听
This year's Symposium will highlight how Open Science works through various stages of the research lifecyle, focusing on areas where it is not yet widely practiced, such as data acquisition in laboratories. Interactive sessions will cover open resources enabling better study design, initiatives to increase diversity in research data, open-source hardware for data acquisition and collaborative approaches to catalyze big open data analysis.
Keynote
Ed Lein, Senior Investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, will kick off the event with the keynote lecture, providing an overview of the open education tools developed by the Allen Institute, which are invaluable for enhancing neuroscience education and strengthening experimental design.听
Open Science Prize Ceremony
The day will conclude with the 2024 Neuro-Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prizes Ceremony. The winners of this premier OS competition will accept their awards and present their work. Following the ceremony, symposium attendees are invited to celebrate and network over cocktails.
