LU Open Science Days 2025

Welcome to LU Open Science Days 2025 

The theme for this year’s conference is Open Science: Trust and Integrity in Science. This encompasses how open science can foster a culture of transparency, collaboration, and accountability in scientific research. In an era where public trust in science is both crucial and contested, this event brings together researchers, PhD-students and other staff from Lund University and researching organisations in the local vicinity to explore how open science practices can strengthen the integrity and credibility of scientific knowledge. 

Join us on the 19th and 20th of November at Palaestra for the third instalment of LU Open Science Days organised by the cross-faculty Open Science Champions group. 

Participation is free of charge. Vegetarian lunch and coffee are included, as well as drinks and snacks during the mingle on the 19th. 

• Registration is now open! 
• For updates about the program please go to the Open Science Notice Board.  
• All LU-affiliated researchers, PhD-students, post docs, teachers, librarians, research engineers, research support staff, and others keen to learn more about open science are welcome.

• The conference committee encourages all participants to share their experience of open science practices during the poster mingle.
