(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-07-18) Zuza Wiorogórska; Anna Książczak-Gronowska; Karolina Minch; Lilianna Nalewajska
Open for You! is a series of workshops initiated in 2021, targeting doctoral candidates from within the 4EU+ Alliance. The programme focuses on the principles and implementation of Open Science (OS) and is coordinated by the libraries of the 4EU+ universities. This paper offers the readers two main avenues for inspiration and practical implementation. First, it seeks to encourage openness in research-related initiatives among colleagues from institutions that are still in the early stages of adopting OS practices. Second, it aims to guide colleagues from European institutions who are interested in international collaboration, highlighting specific actions that can be initiated or expanded to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the EUI. It focuses on the pedagogical approach and course content of the Open for You!, while also showcasing other OS-related joint initiatives developed within the 4EU+ Alliance.
