Galway Open and Digital Research Communities

Key Open and Digital Networks in Galway 

• Open Scholarship Community Galway: local branch (including Atlantic Technological University) of the International Open Science and Scholarship Communities network, with 2300 members across 18 countries 
• ReproducibiliTEA journal club: hybrid meetings to discuss a pre-selected paper—an ideal way to start your journey to open research. Paper suggestions and volunteer introductions are always welcome! 
• Digital Humanities Research Group (DHRG): seminars offered by the DHRG covering digital projects undertaken by Galway researchers
• Open Research Café: informal meetings in person for researchers and support staff to share experiences and ask questions 
• Open Research Forum: This forum covers broad research topics aimed at campus scholars and researchers. It is often a hybrid meeting with invited speakers.
• MakerSpace: all staff and students have access to free 3D printing, drones, VR headsets, tripods, and more in the MakerSpace. Come to a workshop and see how you could incorporate these resources into your next project! Students will receive full training on all the equipment when they volunteer to facilitate workshops and help to maintain the space.
