Candidature for the European Commission Open Science Policy Platform
by Daniel Mietchen 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Dear all, the European Commission is setting up an advisory group for its Open Science Agenda: https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/index.cfm?pg=open-science-policy-… This group - called 'Open Science Policy Platform' (OSPP) - has an open call for candidates, and I am amongst those who have publicly declared their interest in serving on this group. Since many of my Open Science activities have a Wikimedia component, I posted my candidacy at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/European_Commission_Op… and would welcome endorsements from individuals and groups, especially if you are active at the interface of Open Science with Wikimedia or other open movements. I also set up https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:European_Commission_Open_Science_P… in case others here would like to serve as candidates as well, which I would welcome. Thanks and cheers, Daniel
