Submission deadline: 2 March, 2025
Swissuniversities has launched a new call for projects in the Swiss Open Science programme II, a series of calls for projects within the framework of the application of the Action Plan for the Swiss National Open Research Data strategy.
Track A: Explore projects encompasses early-phase exploration as well as the testing and prototyping of a potential Open Research Data practice. This call aims to support projects and research communities in the early exploratory phases of implementing ORD practices. The call is addressed to projects that aim (1) to explore ORD practices in disciplines that are not yet active in this field, (2) to determine whether and how cooperation between science and international organisations can be encouraged using Open Science principles and practices, and (3) to develop sustainable ORD practices and foster exchange between research communities
