How can one of Europe’s oldest universities become a leader in Open Science?
In this episode of the Big Open Science Podcast, recorded at the University of Coimbra in Portugal, we explore how a historic institution is transforming its research culture and embedding openness into its long-term strategy.
Our guests are Licínia Ferreira from the University of Coimbra’s Open Science Office and Lorena Caliman, Community Manager of OPERAS-PT and co-founder of the Open Science Community Portugal. Together they explain how open science is implemented in practice — from institutional repositories and Diamond Open Access publishing to citizen science initiatives, research data management, and community-driven collaboration.
We also hear from Professor Delfim Ferreira Leão, Vice-Rector for Culture, Communication and Open Science, who shares why Coimbra decided to place open science at the heart of its university mission and governance.
The conversation reveals how institutional leadership, grassroots communities, and European research infrastructures such as OPERAS can work together to build a sustainable culture of openness. At the same time, our guests reflect on the real challenges researchers face today — including limited time, disciplinary differences, and the need to better integrate open science practices into academic careers and education.
