In this episode of the Big Open Science Podcast, recorded during a study visit at the University of Coimbra, we explore how Open Science is being built through projects people and communities in Portugal.
We hear from the teams behind TREASURE, a project recognising open and reproducible research practices among early career researchers and ReData, Portugal’s national network for research data management and data stewardship. The episode also features Juanina Digital, an ambitious initiative opening the historic Joanina Library through large-scale digitisation and digital humanities infrastructures.
Together these conversations show that Open Science is not only about policies and technologies but about people collaboration and imagination shaping more open and inclusive research cultures.
