Join the Living Norway Ecological Data Network through our “open science lab”. The aim of the lab is to reach out to students and researchers in ecology, conservation science and ecology that share an interest in open, transparent and reproducible science. Sharing and reusing research data will be a particular focus area, but the lab will be a place for discussions about all kinds of aspects of open science practices.
Establishing a network of people
The Living Norway Ecological Data Network promotes management and sharing of ecological data based on best principles. Open sharing of (ecological) data is embedded in a deeper understanding of the value of open science. Therefore, we also explore and promote these wider open science opportunities (and challenges) for our research community and society at large.
We now launch our ” Open Science Lab ” to bring our activities closer to the wider research community in ecology, conservation and evolution. The “Open Science Lab”.is an initiative to connect people across career stages and institutions, in ecology and related disciplines, and in Norway and abroad. Members can participate in monthly webinars, join our discussion forums, learn from others, and contribute to developing and improving tools and procedures. The input from the research community will be immensely important for how Living Norway develops in the future.

The Open Science lab is launching
The open science labconnects people who share a common interest and passion for open, transparent, and reproducible ecological research centered around open and FAIR data. There are many unresolved questions and challenges (including data-infrastructures and software, use of standards for ecological data etc.), meaning there also are ample opportunities to make a real contribution if that is what you want. However, you are just as welcome to join the lab if you are just starting out on your journey towards more open science, and would simply like to learn more about FAIR data management and transparent and reproducible research practices.
What do you gain by joining our open science lab?
- Access to monthly webinars & lab meetings
- Access to networking across institutions and career stages
- Possibility to contribute to code and software development, testing & review – for improved management of ecological data
- Updated know-how and best practices guidelines for open science practices, reproducible workflows, and FAIR data management in ecology and beyond
- Get help and advice about how to publish your ecological data (using the Darwin Core standard)
- Possibility contribute to or even guest-edit the Living Norway blog
- Suggest open science activities and hackathons, and get support from Living Norway to arrange those
- Contribute to and join discussions about the wider work of Living Norway Ecological Data Network
Is the open science lab something for you?
We certainly think so! The only expectation from you is that you have an interest in open, transparent and reproducible ecological research. Everybody across career stages, institutions, and backgrounds is welcome and joining and participation are entirely free. It is completely up to you how much you want to investigate in the lab – we appreciate your attendance in any case. If this sounds interesting, sign up and join us for this webinar series starting March 3rd.
