The winners of the 2021 Open Research Awards

The draw of the winners of the Open Research Award took place yesterday.

We received 18 eligible submissions presenting case studies from the humanities, medical and life sciences, social and behavioural sciences, material science and astronomy. Thank you all!
Submitted entries (in total 26) were screened for eligibility by a jury composed of UG and UMCG staff members.

Three winners were randomly drawn by the organizers to win each 500 euros and present their case studies during the Celebrating Openness event on 28 October:

• Hannah Dugdale+team: Repeatable, reproducible & open bioinformatics for biologists (Faculty of Science and Engineering)
• Jan Anton Koster+team: SIMsalabim: An open-source drift-diffusion simulator for semiconductor devices (Faculty of Science and Engineering)
• Andres Felipe Ramos Padilla: Astronomical databases and open practices to understand galaxies (Faculty of Science and Engineering)

Congratulations! All eligible case studies will soon be published online.
