Our goal is to encourage young scientists to join the debate about themes like responsible research evaluation, public engagement and open science.

What is open science and why do we need it in the first place? And how can young scientists communicate their results to society? Why is research evaluation mainly focused on output metrics? Can we change that as young scientists?
