Our community
Who we are
Open Science Community Eindhoven was founded in 2018 by the then-PhD student of the Electrical Engineering Department Stephan Heunis.
The community is a growing group of researchers, engineers, scientists and university faculty who care about transparency and quality in science. Our goal is to form an inclusive community of people working on improving the way we conduct open science at the Eindhoven University of Technology and to help others do the same.
Interested in joining the OSC/e? We will be happy to welcome you! There are several ways to join the community.

Open Science Community Eindhoven (OSC/e) is looking for new members. With assistant professor Pavlo Bazilinskyy at the helm and with the support of the university library, OSC/e is ready for a new series of meetings centered around open science. The aim is to share tips and to engage in discussions, says Kristina Korshunova, who is involved on behalf of the library. She stresses that everyone is welcome to join, including critics. “We aren’t a community of ‘believers.’”

“We will bring more balance to the appraisal of academics, valuing them for their talents and ambitions in the fields of research, education, impact and leadership," says rector Frank Baaijens in an article that was published today on the homepage of TU/e. The number of scientific publications, citations or the grants that someone has secured will no longer be the only determining factor for their appraisal as a scientist, Baaijens says. "Excellence, in education and research, as well as in additional areas will continue to be the aim of our university's academic personnel."
