Open Science: despite gaining momentum, there are still many myths, prejudices, misconceptions around it, which hinder it from flourishing.

This YERUN calendar is a playful way to bust some of the most common myths around Open Science! 

Do some of these sound familiar to you? Then, turn the windows day after day, from 1st to 24th December, to discover what’s behind these myths and how to debunk them! 

YUFE University Alliance (Young Universities for the Future of Europe) has been up and running for two years, with a wonderful selection of opportunities for our students, staff members and the citizens living in the YUFE cities and regions across Europe. In the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), we aim to make it easy for people to join and to make the best of YUFE.

The Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance brings together ten dynamic, young research based universities (1) from as many European countries and four partners from the non-governmental and private sector (2). Together, the YUFE partners work to pioneer a radical transformation of higher education in Europe by developing the leading model of a young, student-centred, non-elitist, open and inclusive European University. Students actively co-create and are at the centre of everything YUFE does.

The YUFE Alliance strives to establish a holistic European University that is active in education, research and innovation and enhances the collaboration of academia, business, society and decision makers (quadruple helix) (3).
