Candidature for the European Commission Open Science Policy Platform

by Daniel Mietchen

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
