Sharing Connects People

Think Open is an Open Science initiative born within CIMeC in 2018 whose goal is to build a virtual space within which researchers at the Center can share different kinds of outputs from research, integrating and merging information from different sources and stages of the knowledge-building process. A number of achievements have been made over the years, both from the point of view of training (seminars, hands-on, courses for doctoral students, awards, etc.) and implementation of best practices (code and data sharing, adoption of free-software tools, etc.). Here we will describe how sharing open practices in everyday working routines foster connections between people, creating practice-based communities.
