ORFG Welcomes Julieta Arancio as Open Accelerator Fellow
The Open Research Funders Group is pleased to welcome Dr. Julieta Arancio as our Open Accelerator Fellow. In this new role, she will organize and oversee cross-sector activities emerging from the Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science CERN/NASA Summit. This event brought together a diverse range of attendees to exchange experiences, ideas, and expertise; promote open science policies and practices; and develop practical action plans to implement open science practices that are fit for both context and purpose. Dr. Arancio will coordinate efforts to operationalize the Summit outcomes in a collaborative, open way. This will include identifying areas in which participants and others in the research community can benefit from ongoing peer support; nurturing working groups on these topics; and identifying key components of open science, research, and scholarship in which collective action and collaboration are possible.
Dr. Arancio's background as a researcher explores the politics of open hardware in science with a focus on North-South dynamics. Her latest work focuses on the institutional aspects of open science hardware, exploring collaborative policy recommendations for universities and research institutes aiming to promote it. She has developed this study as part of a postdoctoral position at the Center for Science, Technology and Society, Drexel University funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. She is currently a guest researcher at TU Berlin, where she also teaches seminars on open science, and an associate researcher at CENIT-UNSAM, a center on innovation studies in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Dr. Arancio is a co-founding member of reGOSH, the Latin American open hardware community, and was recently appointed board member of the global Open Science Hardware Foundation and steering committee member at SPARC. She is also part of the Data Carpentry Social Science Curriculum Advisory Committee, and has organized events with national, regional and global communities in the open science space.
This fellowship is supported by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation.
