Open Research Champions

Who are Open Research Champions?

Open Research Champions are University of Sheffield researchers who:

• Promote and advocate for open research in their discipline and amongst other colleagues in the University
• Disseminate information about open research to their discipline
• Provide advice and signposting to other colleagues in the University about open research practices and support

Open Research Champions can be researchers or professional services staff at any level, from PGR students to established researchers.
