Organising More ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups: New Methods and Experiences from the Re:ERUA Project

As we have established in Organising the ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups, the field of Open Science is subject to constant change and expansion. To stay up to date, exchange is paramount – not only within universities, but also within larger spheres such as academic alliances. To this end, the Re:ERUA project (research trajectory of the European Reform University Alliance) developed an innovative virtual format of Open Science-related exchange called ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups. In Organising the ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups, we looked at how we got the programme going and which lessons we learned on the way. Around two years and 19 meet-ups later, we shall revisit the format, discussing how we developed the format further into a standard structure that shapes most of the 19 more recent meet-ups. Analysing this structure’s individual components as well as the 19 meet-ups’ individual scopes and our promotion-related measures, we shall draw conclusions, shedding light on our experiences and learnings, hoping that this publication may serve as a means of inspirations for others who may be interested in setting up like-minded formats. In this vein, this publication serves as a follow-up to the scope discussed in Organising the ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups.
