Co-delivered by the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, OpenFest is a flagship celebration and exploration of open research, providing an opportunity to explore current issues, share experiences, and consider how open research can be applied in your discipline. 

• Open Research @ Sheffield Day 1 - talks and presentations at the University of Sheffield, 10.00-15.00, in person with hybrid capability

This event includes a series of talks and presentations that explore current practice and/or areas of development or potential in open research, from sharing the outputs of practice-based research to developing training around reproducible research software.  

• OpenFest Online Symposium - Towards an Open Research Culture: Establishing, Embedding and Facilitating the Culture/s and Practice/s of Open Research Day 2 - 10.00-16.00, online

To what extent, and in what ways, is the future of research culture open? What practices are and will be central in establishing and embedding a culture of research openness? What factors impede efforts to achieve an open research culture, and how best can researchers and other professionals address these? Our online symposium aims to create space for colleagues across the UK and internationally to explore these and related ideas.

Including sessions on 'Open research: Geographies, Disparities, In/equalities'; 'Progress towards Openness: Contexts & Conflicts', 'Towards a Culture of Open Research Dissemination' and 'Open Research, Academic Labour and Equity - panel discussion'.
