The Open Science Ambassadors are excited to announce the winners of the first edition of the Open Science Ambassadors Awards! The awards recognise and celebrate individuals and groups who practice, promote, and advance open science at OxCIN and beyond.
The Early Career Researcher Category Award goes to Gaurav Bhalerao for enhancing the impact of brain imaging data through open research practices, while also advancing a culture of open research within their department and across the wider University.
The Student Category Award is presented to Levi Kumle for consistently demonstrating an outstanding commitment to open research practices through tool development, empirical research, training, advocacy, and citizenship.
Highly commended for their contributions and exceptional commitment to openness, collaboration, and research integrity across our community were: Danielle Hewitt, Mats van Es, Katrijn Schruers, James Bacon, and Sungjun Cho.
Please join us on 25 March 2026 at the OxCIN United Open Science session, where we will hear from both award winners. We look forward to celebrating with you then!
