VW Foundation Grant [https://c56553a7c6.imgdist.com/pub/bfra/r0ojxf0l/a0g/1z6/z4y/Volkswagen%20St...] This VW project aims to transform scientific practices from the ground up, as described in the official press release of the LMU<https://www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/newsuebersicht/news/transparenz-in-die-forsch...>. It will consist of two programs: Switch-to-Open program We will support research groups desiring to switch from closed to open research workflows by creating, together with them, a standard open research practice guide adapted to their needs. The guide will be useful for onboarding new members and adaptable by other groups in the same department. If you are interested in benefiting from this service already this year, please contact Malika at malika.ihle@lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de>. Train-the-Trainer program We will empower researchers to become trainers of open research practices to increase the adoption of these standards in their discipline.
