Connectionists: Cambridge Open Lab Open Science in Practice Course, Aug 3-7 2026

[Mateusz Kostecki]

Hello!

Cambridge node of Open Lab project is announcing a new summer course
-  Open Science in Practice!

The Open Science in Practice Summer School is a 5-day immersive programme
held in Cambridge (UK), bringing together students and early-career
researchers interested in integrating open science into their daily work.

The summer school is designed for students and early-career researchers who
want to explore and implement open science practices in their work.

While the content is broadly applicable across disciplines, the programme
is oriented towards applications in neuroscience, with hands-on workshops
that will resonate especially with those working with experimental setups,
behaviour tracking, and data analysis.
The course is divided in two parts:

*Open Science Principles*
The first two days focus on the foundations of open science, including why
it matters, how it shapes research culture, and how to implement open and
reproducible practices, from data sharing to open access publishing

*Hands-on workhops*
This is an opportunity for participants to gain practical experience in
important experimental skills that can be applied to your research, such as:

– Basic electronics for building or improving experimental setups (e.g.,
closed-loop setups systems, sensors and much more!)

– 3D design and printing using open-source software (FreeCAD)

– Open-source software for behavioural analysis (e.g. DeepLabCut).

With best wishes,
