In this episode of PGR Matters, host Matthew Sillence explores how open research training is evolving, with a focus on the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Featuring Dr Samuel Moore (MORPHSS project, University of Cambridge) and Hannah Crago (University of Essex), the conversation looks at how traditional ideas of “open science” can be reframed for different disciplines, and how gamification—including the Copyright Dough game and escape rooms—can make open research concepts more engaging, practical, and accessible for researchers at all levels.
