Concordia University is advancing open science and open scholarship with a new Senate-approved resolution that embeds these principles across the institution. The move towards open science aligns with directives by the federal government that any publicly funded research be open “by design and by default” by 2025 and is the newest of several initiatives by Concordia to advance open science since 2010. Concordia Research Chair Krista Byers-Heinlein described the benefits of open science in the past several years: “My students have embraced it, it’s strengthened our collaborations, and other researchers have used our materials, data, and analysis code to make new discoveries.”
