  • <p>This poster showcases the efforts of the Ghent University Open Science Team in supporting researchers in the creation of a bottom-up community for Open and Reproducible Research: GhentCORR. While policies, incentives, infrastructure, and skills are essential for advancing Open Science, we believe that peer-to-peer communities are crucial to driving cultural change from within, making Open Science normative.</p> <p>To achieve this, we participated in the Incubator programme of the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities (INOSC), which provided a foundation for community building. We joined forces with a group of enthusiastic researchers that had initiated a local node of the Belgian Reproducibility Network, aligning our goals and combining resources. Together, we organized a community blueprint workshop where participants brainstormed and voted on the community’s identity and outlined key steps for its development.</p> <p>A core team of researchers and support staff was established to meet regularly and continue working on the community’s growth. Based on the priorities identified in the blueprint workshop, we have: </p> <ul> <li>Established communication channels to facilitate internal and external engagement: an online community platform and the GhentCORR website</li> <li>Expanded the community’s base</li> <li>Launched a landscape survey to understand the adoption of open and reproducible practices at Ghent University</li> <li>Planned a major launch event to bring visibility to the community</li> </ul> <p><span>This poster demonstrates how collaboration between researchers and support staff can help cultivate a peer-driven community that promotes cultural change towards Open and Reproducible Research.</span></p>
