What motivates people to get involved in science?
Image
In order to engage the public in science and design effective citizen science projects, it is important to understand the main motivations that drive individuals to engage in research. Our pan-European study has revealed gender and age differences when it comes to the reasons that motivate members of the public to get involved in life sciences research.

ORION Open Science summer school 2020
Image
The ORION partner, JCMM, organised an Open Science Summer School for doctoral students and young researchers on 14-18 September 2020. During this very intensive week, 35 young researchers and doctoral students were given an overview of open science principles and had the opportunity to learn and discuss issues that are important for them as future scientists.

SMOVE - adapting citizen science in times of COVID-19
Image
Citizen science relies on active participation in the research process. But many projects have had to be put on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions affecting the involvement of participants. SMOVE – “Science that makes me move”, a project engaging school pupils to research the relationship between environmental influences and sedentary behaviour, has been rethinking its approach in light of constraints.

Forthcoming activities

4 November - Berlin Open Science Week - Online
Join us for an afternoon of bitesize events at the online Open Science cafe on 4 November. For five hours we are serving up a rolling series of twenty-minute micro-talks and activities about Open Science. Drop in and have a coffee while you get a quick snack of knowledge about how to make different aspects of research transparent, accessible, and usable for all. Or stay for the whole afternoon and go away as an Open Science expert. 

1 December - Engage Festival 2020 - Online
During the ORION session "Public Dialogues: A valuable tool for Higher Education Institutions?" on 1 December at 15:30 – 17:30 (CET) we will present and discuss the many benefits of organising public dialogues as a part of your public engagement activities. NB you have to register via the Engage Festival website in order to participate.

In short
ORION at ESOF 2020
The ORION partners participated in three sessions during the EuroScience Open Forum - ESOF 2020 3-4 September discussing Open Science, Responsible Research and Innovation, RRI and genomic medicine with participants from all over the world. The theme for ESOF 2020 was: “Freedom for science, science for freedom".

Citizen Science in the Life Sciences at ECSA conference
Elisabetta Broglio, CRG, presented the Genigma Game app at an E-poster session during the European Citizen Science, ECSA annual conference on 9 September. By playing the Genigma game participants will be able to help researchers identify genomic alterations in cancer cells.

Launch of the first ORION Train-the-trainers course
The ORION Open Science Train-the-Trainer course is an online course which enables its participants to deliver Open Science training in a variety of contexts. Through online seminars, meet-ups, videos, group work and more, the participants acquire skills in the theory and methods of Open Science training. The course runs from 19 October to 4 November and ends with a virtual Open Science café during Berlin Science Week. 

Public dialogues to inform CRG strategy
The CRG arranged two public dialogues in October on CRG strategy with wider society and multiple stakeholders. 30 participants from society and 22 stakeholders from different fields, all of them from across Spain, participated in the online public dialogues. There will be a final workshop at the beginning of november which will bring together participants from wider society and stakeholders that participated in the previous dialogues.The results from the dialogues will help inform CRG strategy.

Lessons learned from Open Science training
Emma Harris, MDC shared the main learnings and presented the ORION training resources at the virtual final FIT4RRI event on 29 September. The FIT4RRI EU-project brought together experts from nine European countries, who analysed and tested how to foster the real uptake of Responsible Research & Innovation and Open Science.

ORION activities showcased at Citizen Science SDG conference
The ORION Citizen Science project Genigma and the ORION evaluation of citizen science initiatives was presented at the Citizen Science SDG online conference on 14-15 October by CRG and Crecim. The conference was an official event of Germany’s 2020 EU Council presidency.

Digital Forum Wissenschaftskommunikation 2020
How to triage information: Covid-19 and Open Science was discussed by Luiza Bengtsson at an online session during the German Forum Wissenschaftskommunikation.

It's Not FAIR! Improving Data Publishing Practices in Research
The main objective of the "It's Not FAIR! Improving Data Publishing Practices in Research" was to give an introduction to each of the FAIR data principles and discuss practical approaches that you can take to help make your research data FAIR for the wider research community. Emma Harris, MDC gave a presentation on the accessibility aspect of FAIR data.

Open Science lecture at the International Summer School in Odessa
Luiza Bengtsson of MDC held an online lecture on Open Science and your research on 29 June at the International Summer School of Biology, Biotechnology and Biomedicin in Odessa, Ukraine.

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.
