The YEBN is happy to present you its new program "HACK YOUR SCIENCE":

Learn about new tools and methodologies established in different fields and how they can boost your science

Inspired by the collaborative and innovative spirit of hackathons, the program aims to present an array of tools and methodologies commonly used in diverse fields (IT, industry, arts, social science,...) but not in scientific research. The program aims to stimulate young scientists to familiarize with them and understand how these tools/methodologies can help research, fostering collaboration and inclusiveness.

The aim of this program is to provide a first series of three sessions where professionals and experts of the hackathon and open science field are going to discuss and inspire you on how to collaborate remotely and transdisciplinary with new ways of working in science in order to boost your professional network, foster innovation, widen your skill-set with techniques often to effectively communicate within different contexts in the professional world.

The series is planned to continue in 2021 with more "hack your science"- methodologies and tools useful in project initiation, structuring, presentation, communication, collaboration boosting and inclusive team work.
