Let's talk about genome editing!
|
|
|
|
|
What does the public think about the new genome editing technology CRISPR and how should we talk about it? The ORION project has organised public dialogues in the Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden and the UK to find out. The aim of the public dialogues was to discuss the risks and opportunities of this disruptive technology and identify any concerns the public might have.

Open Science roundtable debate in Czech Republic
|
|
|
|
|
On 9 March the final ORION Open Science roundtable was organised by the ORION partner JCMM in Brno, Czech Republic. This was the final leg in the JCMM co-creation scheme, which was launched in June 2018 debating the Open Science framework with representatives from academia, local government, business, NGOs, students and the general public.

MELTIC-project winner of the ORION call for Novel Co-creation Initiatives
|
|
|
|
|
The MELTIC project “Ideas MELting pot for TIC and Health Science for Citzens in Small Communities” coordinated by the ORION partner ISCIII, Spain, is the winner of the ORION call for Novel Co-creation Initiatives. The project will improve the quality of life for EU citizens in small communities by co-creating and developing ICT health services with stakeholders including local residents.

Eternal life through genome editing?
|
|
|
|
|
If there was a medicine that could stop physical ageing – would you take it? Artist Emilia Tikka’s installation, which was showcased recently at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm, uses this idea to stage a vision of the future. The artwork is the result of her collaboration with researchers in the field of genome editing.

28-29 April 2020 - ORION 3rd Annual Meeting
The ORION consortium will hold its third annual meeting entirely by videoconference on 28-29 April. During the meeting we will discuss ongoing and future project activities such as the final conference in 2021. 2-6 September - ESOF 2020, Trieste
The ORION project will be involved in two sessions during the EuroScience Open Forum - ESOF in Trieste. The theme for ESOF 2020 is: “Freedom for science, science for freedom".
Due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, all other conferences during the spring where the ORION project was part of the programme has been cancelled. The return of the ORION Open Science MOOC
The very popular MOOC for Open Science in the Life Sciences will return in a self-paced version after Easter. The MOOC will give you an insight into the different aspects of Open Science as; Data Management, FAIR Data, Open Access and Publishing, and Science Communication and Public Engagement. More info to come in our social media channels.

How to run a public dialogue, Lund
Maria Hagardt of VA met with the CRISPRIdeas team at The Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies in Lund on 5 March. At the interdisciplinary institute researchers work together on problems across subject and faculty boundaries. Berlin Open Science Barcamp & Conference
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the second day of the Open Science Barcamp & conference 11-12 March was held online. Emma Harris of MDC presented lessons learned from the ORION Open Science training in her talk: "Three golden rules of Open Science training". Lab phase underway!
After months of testing with data already published, the Genigma game project has started the experiments in the laboratory. The aim of the project is to develop an app to discover the genomic alterations in cancer cells. In this important step, researchers will extract DNA from the cancer cells that will be analyzed during the game. The Genigma Citizen Science project is financed by ORION. Time to develop new skills?
Why not have a look at our YouTube channel where you'll find presentations on different aspects of Open Science; FAIR, Open Access, Open Data and trainings. If you're tired of watching a screen, tune in and listen to any of our interesting Open Science podcasts covering everything from data sharing and citizen science to peer review and professional development.

About ORION Open Science
|
The EU-funded ORION Open Science project aims to explore ways in which research performing and research funding organisations in life sciences and biomedicine can open up the way they fund, organise and do research. We will embed Open Science principles in the research process and involve citizens, policy makers and researchers in co-creation experiments, public dialogues, training and citizen science.
Find out more how you can get involved in the ORION project at our website. Don't miss to tune in for our Open Science Podcasts!
