EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Iryna Kuchma and EIFL Open Access Programme Coordinator Gwen Franck will attend the kick-off meeting of the FOSTER Plus project.

FOSTER Plus, which starts in May, is a new phase of the FOSTER (Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research) project. FOSTER Plus focuses on the practical implementation of open science in the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme for research and innovation.

EIFL is one of 11 FOSTER Plus project partners that will collaborate on creating training and e-learning activities targeting academic staff, young scientists and policy-makers. At the meeting in Portugal, the partners will discuss project goals, clarify roles and responsibilities and establish the first-year plan for developing e-learning courses and face-to-face training activities in Europe. EIFL coordinates these training activities.
