Stage 4: Connect and Flourish

Objectives

1. Connect with others across OSCs in our network
2. Reuse and Repurpose formats and resources from fellow OSCs
3. Participate and co-create in INOSC Circles
4. Share your resources with the network

Managing an OSC can be challeging, but do know: you are not alone in this journey. Your OSC is part of an international network of 50+ local communities. By taking small steps in our local communities, we bring about a global change to make science more open. Thanks for being part of this!

Connecting to other OSCs through INOSC is an enriching experience. Many have gone through similar challenges your OSC is facing, and we're here to help each other our. By the same toke, connecting with eachother across disciplinary, geographical and cultural boundaries, widens our perspectives on Open Science.

By being part of INOSC, you are invited to regular meetings with fellow OSCs, to share experiences and explore new opportunities.

You can also register for the INOSC Newsletter to stay informed of recent developments in INOSC.

We strongly encourage collaboration across OSCs. For example, members are encouraged to participate in 'INOSC Circles', which are projects or initiatives open to members of multiple OSCs. You can find an overview of the current INOSC Circles at the INOSC Website, where you also can find information on how to set-up a new INOSC Circle.

And last but not least, don't forget to check out the (INOSC Collective Resources)[https://osc-toolkit.com/resources]. This collection is a growing database of worked examples and best practices shared among OSCs. We strongly encourage you to make use of these examples and to provide your own examples and use cases to be added to the collection. At the bottom-section of the collection, you'll find information how to upload your materials to the collection.
