H2020 FOSTER+ 

(via Technical University of Denmark, Legal Entity)

H2020 FOSTER and FOSTER+ (Coordination Support Actions under Science in Society 2014-2106 and 2017-2019) supported EC Open Science Agenda through training across all key actors in the Research & Innovation ecosystem, with particular focus on researchers at all career stages.

FOSTER+ Trainers can cover best practices, methodologies and tools at each step of the Research Workflow, from Open Notebooks, to Data Management, Data and Software publishing, Green and Gold Open Access to publications, Open Educational Resources, and Synergies and Conflicts between Open Science and Open Innovation.

The trainers can also deliver training at the cross-over between proposal formulation and proposal writing and Open Science integration in proposal design for the purpose of optimizing the academic and socio-economic impact of the research proposals.
