 This event will also be streamed and recorded at Todos Tromsøs's own Youtube channel.

The following topics will be addressed:

In short, the aim of the meeting is to discuss how to manoeuver as a young researcher in a landscape that appears to be in a state of rapid transition towards Open Science.
