Retracing Workshop 3

Open Science in Participatory Research

This workshop explored Open Science within Participatory Design (PD), focusing on the FAIR data principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Open Science within the European framework aims to make research and data widely accessible, fostering transparency, collaboration, and inclusivity.

Participants learned how inclusive (digital) data collection and comprehensive Data Management Plans (DMPs) ensure data integrity and accessibility, enhancing research quality. In PD, involving stakeholders in data collection strengthens engagement, making the process more impactful. Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, participants gained practical experience, enriching research outcomes while developing essential collaboration and problem-solving skills.
