This year’s Data Science Research Bazaar will host the inaugural UW–Madison Open Awards on March 20th. The Open Awards are sponsored by the Data Science Institute, Open Source Program Office, and the Libraries. The awards recognize and celebrate those using open practices in their work and who are inspiring others to do the same. The awards also recognize that open practices vary across academic communities including: open access publishing, open data, open education, open source software and hardware, open science, and more.
The awards will honor one winner (individual or team) each for the Open Source Award and the Open Scholarship Award, as well as inaugural inductees to the UW–Madison Open Hall of Fame. Open Source and Open Scholarship Award winners will receive a $1,000 award. Hall of Fame inductees will have their names displayed in the forthcoming UW–Madison Libraries digital scholarship hub located in Memorial Library.
