Celebrating Open Science: The 2025 OSCAWARDS

In recent years, the Netherlands has taken significant steps toward embracing Open Science. However, as this movement gains momentum, concerns about protecting scientific output and growing skepticism toward science are also on the rise. The third annual OSCAWARDS aims to strengthen the Open Science Community in Amsterdam by recognizing and celebrating the outstanding contributions of its members in advancing Open Science.

Open Science is about making scientific knowledge more credible, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. It values quality and integrity of research, encourages collaboration, and opens up the process of creating, evaluating, and sharing science so that it benefits both researchers and society as a whole. At this event, 10 Open Science projects will be recognized for their impact. OSCAWARDS recipients—including researchers, support staff, educators, and students from different knowledge institutes across Amsterdam—will share their work with the audience. Additionally, the Open Science Community Amsterdam will host a panel discussion with experts on science mistrust and misinformation. Together, we will explore how the scientific community—and the Open Science movement in particular—can foster greater public trust in science.
