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.

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."
