The PHIL_OS project (2021–2025) aims to develop an empirically grounded philosophy of Open Science [OS] that emphasises the diversity of research environments around the world and articulates the conditions under which OS can leverage such diversity to promote good research practice.
We are based at Egenis, the Exeter Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences of the University of Exeter (UK).
In June, Rose Trappes will give a seminar on the philosophy of open science at the University of Oslo (7 June), and a talk on “The Challenges of Evaluating Citizen Science Data” at the Philosophy of Science India conference (21–23 June) in Bengaluru.
On 27 March 2023, the Italian Open Science Society organised a book launch and discussion round at the University of Trento & online, to celebrate the publication of our Plant Data Linkage volume.
