This presentation explores the principles and practices of open science, a growing movement that promotes transparency, collaboration and accessibility in research. With funding agencies and institutions increasingly expecting or mandating open-science practices, researchers must adapt to these new norms. By adopting open-science approaches, they can elevate the quality, reproducibility, and impact of their work. Attendees will gain insights into key open science principles, such as open data, open-access publishing, open-source tools, and open peer review. The presentation will also cover practical strategies for implementing open-science practices throughout the research lifecycle to meet funder requirements. Embracing open science holds the potential to accelerate scientific progress, foster innovation, enhance public trust, and ensure continued funding. Join us to learn how aligning with open science can drive excellence in your research field.

In today's data-driven research landscape software plays a pivotal role in facilitating discoveries and driving scientific progress. The quality and reliability of research software can significantly impact the validity and reproducibility of findings. Embracing open-source principles and practices can elevate the development of research software, leading to better research outcomes. Learn about key open-source principles (code transparency, community collaboration and continuous improvement), and practical strategies for incorporating open-source methodologies (version control, code review, testing and documentation) into the research-software development life cycle. By tapping into the collective knowledge and expertise of the open-source community, researchers can ensure their software is robust, well-documented, and maintainable. Adopting open-source practices fosters a culture of code sharing, reusability, and reproducibility, enabling more efficient and effective research practices. Code itself can become a primary research output with opportunities for publication. Real-world examples and case studies will demonstrate how "tapping the code" through open-source software can directly translate into higher-quality research software, increased confidence in results, and better research outcomes that drive discovery.
