#OpenScience is not just limited to open data and open research outputs, but also includes open research processes that respect different communities and knowledge traditions.
"Mariëlle Prevoo is Department manager Research Support & Development and Chief Open Science (UM) and together with her team applied for a grant. She highlights the importance of this programme: ‘We see recognising and rewarding open science as a crucial component of the UM Open Science policy. If open science activities are not recognised and valued, open science can never become the norm.’" https://recognitionrewards.nl/2024/12/18/knowledge-institutions-take-action-on-open-science-in-recruitment-and-promotion-policies/
