The UZH University Library invites researchers to a new round of Lunch & Learn Open Science sessions this fall. Five online talks cover peer review, data stewardship, publishing contracts, research integrity, and FAIR microscopy data.
The University of Zurich Library continues its Lunch & Learn Open Science series into the fall semester of 2026. Between August and December, five online sessions offer researchers short, expert introductions to current topics in Open Science, followed by an open Q&A.
Each session runs from 12:00 to 13:00 on Zoom and starts with a half-hour input talk. Registration is open through the UZH Open Science event platform. UZH-external participants can register via guest access or join directly through the Zoom link.
