The Office for Open Research is pleased to announce our five newly appointed fellows 2024/25 as part of the Open Research Fellowship Programme.
What is the Open Research Fellowship Programme?
This initiative seeks to champion open and reproducible research practices, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive community at our University. The programme offers financial support, covering salary costs for one day a week for up to 12 months, allowing fellows to focus on open research projects.
Objectives and benefits
The Fellowship Programme aims to cultivate a new generation of open research leaders here at Manchester. Fellows become part of a network of advocates, promoting open research within their departments and fostering a community of practice. They also contribute to the development of high-quality training and provide expert input to the Open Research Skills Training Programme.
