Abstract(s)

Introduction: The access of information to new learning devices, the ability to interconnect with libraries and repositories without barriers of time or space, and the way in which information is processed and made available highlight the urgency of reflection and access to the production and dissemination of scientific production by its stakeholders. To address these issues, academic institutions, together with their libraries, can devise and develop strategies that enable them to make fuller use of these resources, assisting them to interact with the Open Science movement with greater autonomy and effectiveness. Aim of the study: A curricular proposal for a postgraduate course targeted at researchers, science managers, and information professionals is presented, given the gap in higher education offer in this area in Portugal. Methods: A literature review was performed and a proposal for a postgraduate course was developed, based on the international FOSTER project. Results: The course has been structured in contents that aim to fulfill the objective of disseminating Open Science best practices in the context of higher education, articulated with information literacy. The subjects, distributed by semester, workload. and ECTS, are adaptable to the needs of teaching and dissemination, ensuring the training of researchers, science managers, and information professionals in skills appropriate for navigating this movement. Conclusions: The proposed postgraduate course aims to reinforce the importance of building the capacity and best practices’ training of stakeholders within Open Science.
