About The Symposium
This symposium is hosted by The Einstein Foundation and organised by eLife Community Ambassadors. It will explore topics related to the decolonisation of knowledge, representation of research from local communities in non-WEIRD countries, multilingualism in Open Science and how Open Science, if done wrong, will compound inequities.
Where
Online Symposium followed by Einstein Foundation Award in Berlin. Information about how to access the event will be sent to the participants.
When

The Organising Team
This symposium is dedicated but not limited to Early Career Researchers who will define the future research culture and incentives that drive researchers’ behaviours and is therefore organized by Early Career Researchers (ECRs). The international team is selected through eLife. An open call among the 128 eLife ambassadors and champions of which six candidates have been chosen to best represent the different continents. The team is also supported by researchers from Oxford in Berlin, Berlin University Alliance, eLife and BIH QUEST Center. More information can be found in the section below.
