We aim to provide a venue, in the form of an unconference, where archaeologists with a (budding) passion for Open Science can meet to exchange ideas and experiences. During the unconference we also hope to improve awareness of Open Science in archaeology, as well as to help people convert awareness into practice by offering skill-up workshops and developing basic guidelines for practising and teaching Open Science.
By bringing together experienced Open Science practitioners with researchers who are interested in employing Open Science in their research but don’t know where to begin, we will identify the needs of novice practitioners and develop useful guidelines for getting started with Open Science in archaeology.
By organising an event specifically focused on Open Science as opposed to field-specific topics, we aim to bring together people from across archaeological subdisciplines who normally don’t have a platform for collaboration.
The themes for the unconference will be Education, focusing on developing guidelines and integrating Open Science in the regular curricula, and AI, specifically concerning the ethics and reproducibility of its use in archaeology.
