Mainstreaming Open Science Fund 2024 - 2025
The Mainstreaming Open Science Fund is an ad-hoc funding initiative for the members of the Open Science Community Delft (OSCD), that is made possible due to the financial support of the TU Delft Open Science Programme. The main purpose of the funding is to stimulate bottom-up pilot initiatives that fall outside of traditional research funding and focus on either of the two goals:
- Building community/ies around Open Science Practice(s), or
- Advancing Open Science practices within one or several faculties of TU Delft.
Project proposals should be written using the Application Form. The Call is open for applications until 25 November 2024, 24:00. The applicants will be notified of the reviewers’ decision at the beginning of December. Projects should start no later than March 2025.

-
- OSCD Board members;
- Previous Mainstreaming Open Science Fund recipients;
- OSCD members whose projects could be funded though other TU Delft Open Science Programme funds, including Open Education Stimulation Fund.
-
