Open Science in Action: Stories from Open Science Grant Winners

These are the presentation slides from the panel session entitled "Open Science in Action: Stories from Open Science Grant Winners". This panel session explored Open Science (OS) funding opportunities and the practical experiences of researchers who have successfully obtained such grants. The session began with a short overview of available Open Science funding schemes in the Netherlands as well as institutional opportunities at Maastricht University. Following this introduction, several OS grant recipients from different disciplines briefly presented their funded projects and reflected on their experiences with the application process, including motivations, challenges, and lessons learned. The session aimed to provide practical insights for researchers interested in applying for Open Science grants and to highlight the diversity of projects that such funding can support. The panel concluded with an interactive audience question round, allowing participants to ask questions about funding opportunities, proposal preparation, and project execution. This session was intended for researchers, research support staff, and students interested in Open Science practices and funding opportunities, particularly those considering applying for OS-related grants.
