The 2nd edition of the Open Science Retreat, from the 25th to the 29th of March, 2024 will take place in Schoorl, the Netherlands. A week in which people from various disciplines come together to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices related to open science.

What is the Open Science Retreat?

In early April 2023, Heidi Seibold hosted the event she always wanted to attend:
A week full of scientific discussions and reflections, getting work done, making new friends and resetting.

The idea of the Open Science Retreat was born! See here for a recap of the Open Science Retreat 2023, in Germany.

Edition 2024 is mainly organised by OSC-NL: the bottom up, community-led, social infrastructure of Open Science Communities in the Netherlands, and will take place there, again amidst nature in a secluded setting.
