The Open Research Champion Network is a new initiative intended to raise awareness and share experience of open research activities across LSHTM.
What is Open Research?
Open Research, also known as Open Science, is a movement that promotes transparency, collaboration, and accessibility throughout the research process. For further information, visit LSHTM's Open Research page.
What is an Open Research Champion?
An Open Research Champion is a volunteer who actively promotes open research within an LSHTM community with which they are involved. This community may be a department, MRC Unit, research theme, research group, course module, or other group.
Open Research Champions form a network across the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Who can join?
The Open Research Champion Network is open to all LSHTM staff and students who have an interest in open research and are willing to volunteer a few hours each month to contribute to activities. Some knowledge of open research is considered beneficial, but you do not need to be an expert.
If you are interested in becoming an Open Research Champion for a specific group, please discuss it within your team and/or with your supervisor and complete the Expression of Interest form.
