Summary
Open Science community Saudi Arabia (OSCSA) was established in line with Saudi Arabiaβs Vision 2030, which focuses on installing values, enhancing knowledge and improving equal access to education. It aims to provide a place where newcomers and experienced peers interact, inspire each other to embed open science practices and values in their workflows and provide feedback on policies, infrastructures and support services. Our community is part of the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities (INOSC).
Open Science has developed materials of its own and collaborated with other communities to ruse and localise their materials, but none of it is incorporated within the website. Our website is bilingual, so the pages added need to be reflected in both languages!
