Wrapping up an inspiring day at @universitedeliege.bsky.social Opening science doesn’t mean sharing everything without limits, it means building a fair, robust and collaborative ecosystem — one that amplifies discovery while managing risks.
“Let’s keep our eyes open to open science”

scientific image database are never neutral

Stéphanie Derwael reminds us: scientific image #database are never neutral.
They seem complete, uniform, but are curated fragments — selected, organised, normalised.
Every DB reflects choices — critical thinking is key to #OpenScience.

Diamond Open Access model

Jonathan Dumont gave an overview of the “Diamond #OpenAccess” model — free for authors & readers, collectively funded.
Supported by a Belgian foundation uniting actors to improve scientific publishing.

#DiamondOA

Mauranne Raskinet’s talk on #AIcrawlers highlighted the exposure of open access data, a reality many institutions now face.
There are leads, but no perfect solution yet — one of today’s #OpenScience challenges.

The “10 lessons learned” from developing @Gmsh.

The “10 lessons learned” from developing Gmsh.

Gmsh’s code history

Another great moment: Gmsh’s code history visualised like a constellation ✨
Each dot = a code update
Each colour = the status of a part of the code (age, etc.)
A compelling way to make the collective work behind #opensource #software visible.

Meshing applied to aircraft engine noise

Highlight of the day: Christophe Geuzaine’s talk on Gmsh, an #open-source meshing tool 🧩
Break geometry → understand constraints → run simulations
Here applied to aircraft engine noise — a striking example of what open source makes possible.

Gauri, Cheick & Christelle at Open Science Day 2025

At the #OpenScienceDay 2025 at @universitedeliege.bsky.social last week with part of the #Leidenforce team.

A day to reflect together on what openness, transparency and sharing actually change for research.

Lots of ideas to bring back to the office!
