Next week starts the Open Scholarship and Research Impact Challenge, a two-week event from March 28 – April 8, that will include a wide range of learning opportunities and activities to give you the practical tools to make your research more accessible, more reproducible, more connected to the public welfare, and more in line with your personal values.
Visit the Impact Challenge website to find out more and register. The more activities you complete and submit, the greater chance you’ll have for winning a gift card!
Each day of the Impact Challenge librarians will be available online to answer your questions, address your concerns, or listen to your successes about any of the below topics (whether you are registered for the challenge or not). Simply log onto Zoom anytime during the designated times, no registration required.
