Caitlin Carter is the Program Manager for the Higher Education Leadership Initiative for Open Scholarship (), managed by the Open Research Funders Group (). She operationalizes the HELIOS community of practice, which now includes members from over 80 colleges and universities across the USA.

HELIOS is an organization founded in 2022 with the goal of aligning higher education practices with open scholarship values. It emerged from the work of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science.

Anita Eerland is an Assistant Professor in Communication Science at Radboud University and a Board Member for the International Network of Open Science and Scholarship Communities (). She has been an Open Science advocate for over a decade, including involvement in founding , the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (), and the .

INOSC is a network of over 17 Open Science and Open Scholarship Communities across Europe, as well as communities in Saudi Arabia and the British Isles. Open Science Communities are grassroots movements of researchers that facilitate peer-to-peer support to make workflows more open. INSOC facilitates the communication and collaboration of these communities.

Russell Poldrack is the Albert Ray Lang Professor in the Department of Psychology and Director of the Stanford Center for Open and Reproducible Science (). His research uses neuroimaging to understand brain systems underlying decision making and executive function. His lab develops neuroinformatics tools to help improve the reproducibility and transparency of neuroscience, including the andÌýÌýdata sharing projects and the ontology.

SCORES aims to develop and nurture transparency and reproducibility in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data across all domains of scientific activity through developing resources and support activities that promote the adoption of open science and fostering methodological innovations that can enhance the adoption and effectiveness of open science practices.

Frank Miedema is Vice Rector for Research at Utrecht University and since 2019, chair of the . As one of the initiators of Science in Transition, Frank has been involved in the Transition to Open Science since 2016. His new book titled ‘Open Science, the very idea’, that describes recent developments in science from a historical, sociological, philosophical perspective and from a personal perspective was recently published (Open Access) by Springer Nature.

Utrecht University aims to be at the forefront of open science. To accomplish this goal, the Open Science Program aims to stimulate and facilitate researchers across the university to put open science into practice.

Malvika Sharan is a Senior Researcher for the research programme at , London. With a focus on Open Research, she leads a team of community managers and co-lead The project that aims to make data science reproducible, collaborative, ethical and inclusive for researchers around the globe. She is a co-founder of , a mentoring and training programme that empowers researchers to gain an understanding of open science principles, build collaborations with experts and adopt best practices in the context of their communities.

The Turing Way is a community created handbook on reproducible, ethical and collaborative data science. It involves and supports a diverse community of contributors to make data science accessible, comprehensible and effective for everyone with the goal of providing all the information that researchers and data scientists in academia, industry and the public sector need to ensure that the projects they work on are easy to reproduce and reuse.

Sali Farhan is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery and Human Genetics at The Neuro, ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ (Montreal, QC). She is also the Founding Scientific Director of The Neuro's Bioinformatics Core. Her primary research focus is on the genetics of neurodegeneration, with a central focus on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She will present The Neuro's Virtual Integrated Patient Platform: Integrating a Patient Registry, The Neuro’s Open Biobank, and The Neuro's Bioinformatics Core.

Amanda Rand is a MSc candidate at the University of Calgary working to validate the Theia3D markerless motion capture system for pediatrics, building an Open Science database for the Pediatric Onset of Neuromotor Impairments (PONI) lab's studies, and working with Hotchkiss Brain Institute () to create Open Science resources. PONI focuses on rehabilitation and physical activity for children with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.

Amanda will present Open Science initiatives at , current Open Science projects at the PONI Lab, the importance of and difficulties inherent in sharing data involving children with rare diseases, and how the PONI lab and HBI are working together to create resources that will assist other neuro researchers in implementing Open Science in their own labs.

Lena Palaniyappan is the Inaugural Director of the Centre for Youth Mental Health Service Innovation, Research, and Training at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and Professor of Psychiatry at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ. His research program has a broad focus on exploiting neuroscience to inform early interventions for youth in need. Dr. Palaniyappan also convenes Discourse in Psychosis, an international consortium of 179 international researchers interested in speech, language and communication in psychosis. He will discuss his work to create a first of its kind .

Timothy Bussey from the Western Institute for Neuroscience (London, ON) will present the Mouse Translational Research Accelerator Platform (). MouseTRAP addresses the critical challenge of improving animal-to-human translation in diseases affecting cognition by combining cutting-edge touchscreen technology and open science initiatives including data (MouseBytes & MouseBytes+) and knowledge (TouchscreenCognition & PubScreen) sharing.

Jeffery LeDue manages the NeuroImaging and NeuroComputation Centre (NINC) which is the UBC Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health's (Vancouver, BC) core facility focused on advanced preclinical imaging and microscopy as well as computation and data analysis. Additionally, he coordinates the Dynamic Brain Circuits and Connections in Health and Disease research cluster which brings together diverse scientists and accelerates their insights into brain circuit function by creating a stronger, more equitable and inclusive research environment: access for all to infrastructure, technology and training that embraces modern data-driven methodologies. He will present a short talk on , an interactive drop-in meeting for neuroscientists with the goal of furthering training, collaboration, and practical know-how via the use of UBC licensed and open-source software and sharing of protocols.
