Open science murals

The ‘murals’ are initiatives designed to raise awareness of Open Science, created at the University of Lille and inspired by the Climate Fresk.

Collaborative, engaging, and effective, this type of activity facilitates dialogue and discussion among peers, with a view to raising awareness among research communities of the issues surrounding Open science and research data management.

Currently, there are 3 types of murals ready for use, two in French and one in English:

• La Fresque des données de recherche (the Research data mural) - produced with Datactivist as part of the LORD (Lille Open Research Data) data management cluster
• La Fresque de la Science ouverte
• Open Science mural

Duration: 2.5 to 3 hours

Would you like to organise a mural workshop in your laboratory, for your doctoral school, or in any other setting? Please contact us: science-ouverteuniv-lillefr.
