The workshop aims to involve and enable emerging researchers into the discussion about open research, its practices and infrastructures in education. In recent years, the open movement and the digitisation in scholarship have enhanced a cultural transformation in research towards accessibility, re-usability, and participation. Open Science and Open Research have become umbrella terms for several developments calling for the transparency of scholarship and its processes, for the accessibility and traceability of outcomes and resources. While the discussions have on the one hand led to pragmatic guidelines[1], on the other hand a UNESCO Recommendation emerged.[2]

Network 12 changed this year its name to Open Research in Education to provide a platform for engaging in these discourses on openness in scholarship. We want to shed light on potentials, concerns, and possible ways forward in aligning Open Science to educational research and its practices. The new network name Open Research in Educational address this perspective and the heterogeneity of educational research.  

The workshop starts with a short introduction to Open Research in Education focussing on open research practices and enabling infrastructures. The format will be interactive and open to stimulate a high engagement and encourage ongoing collaborations at the sessions and beyond. Therefore, participants can pose their own questions which serve as a starting point for discussion. Participants are welcome to participate in the discussions forthwith at: https://yopad.eu/p/ERC-Workshop_Open_Reseaerch_on_Education-365days
