Open Science

Open Science at the CRG

Open Science aims to open up the research process by fostering open access to publications, open and FAIR data, open tools, open peer review, research integrity, stakeholder engagement and citizen science.

At the CRG we promote Open Science to make our research more collaborative, reproducible, and accessible, and to engage all levels of an inquiring society.

Our main activities focus on:

• Open Access to Publications
• CRG Open Science Projects
• Research Data Management
• Citizen Science
• Science and Society

Importantly, Open and Responsible Research is one of the strategic areas in the CRG Strategic Plan 2021-2024.

 “I am open in order to be more efficient. When you think about the most efficient systems it is clear that this system is open”.

Guillaume Filion, CRG Alumni

“I am open in order to bring together different actors in research from policy makers, different organisations and other scientists from different disciplines to ultimately build more trust into science.”

Michela Bertero, CRG Alumni

“I am open in order to help science contribute more to society. Opening science up and making it more transparent is an excellent way to foster collaboration and also to engage citizens to participate”.
