Participation through the deliberative platform eDemOS is an accompanying activity of the public hearing Making Sense of Open Science, in the form of an online discussion forum, a vote on proposals, and an interactive questionnaire:
- Discussion forum / What people think about open science – in their own words.
Inspired by the platform Polis. - Proposal Discussions / Voting on proposals to improve the implementation of open science principles.
Inspired by the platform Decidim. - Imagine OS / A card-based method for reflecting on open science.
Inspired by IMAGINE RRI (Ulrike Felt et. al).
The aim will also be to assess the differences between methodologies and the results obtained, as for example in the DEMOS projects.
The activity therefore has two objectives:
- to use these tools to explore the attitudes of the broader academic community towards the implementation of selected principles of open science in the Czech Republic (principles and practices of data management, publishing regimes, and the accessibility of science to the public), with a focus on assessing the current state and prospects for the future;
- to explore the potential of the research tool eDemOS and three different methods of online public participation, namely the online discussion forum, the vote on the proposal, and the interactive questionnaire.
Period of online participation: from 8 September to 15 October 2025.
