The Winter School 2025 organised by the ORBIT project – a pivotal point for early-stage researchers (those with less than four years of research experience) to improve their skills to implement Open and Responsible Research and Innovation (ORRI) principles in their research. The Winter School focuses on providing in-depth knowledge and skills in integrating ORRI in the research design, and discussing the use of open data, creating and documenting datasets, depositing data papers, legal aspects of AI, communicating science, and citizens science.
