2024/25 Opening up Research events

The Open Research Kick-Off is just the beginning of an engaging series of events for the 2024/25 academic year, culminating in the Open Research Conference. This year’s events programme is closely aligned with the Open Research Skills Framework, which provides essential guidance on fostering openness throughout the research lifecycle. Opening up Research events are open to all University staff, including professional services staff, postgraduate researchers, and early career researchers.
