Open Science: Following the Roadmap for Research
Series Description
During the month of November, the University of Toronto Libraries (UTL), in collaboration with the Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS), will host a weekly series of virtual panel discussions to showcase diverse perspectives on the principles and practice of Open Science, representing voices from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds, disciplines, and affiliations.
