The initiative for this comes from the Digital Literacy Coalition (DLC): a network of organizations that are committed to increasing digital skills in the region.

Yuliya Hilevych is the Open Science Ambassador for ICOG.

"Academic research findings as well as data, which was used to draw them on, need to be accessible and transparent. I see these as the core principles of open science. This process, however, is often not straightforward and is bound to the 'conventions' of disciplines. As an ICOG (Faculty of Arts) ambassador, I am keen on promoting and co-developing routes for accessible and transparent research and data in the fields of humanities."
