Abstract:
As Open Science becomes a structural requirement, developing the right skills goes beyond technical training and requires integrating disciplinary expertise with legal, communicative, and data-related competences. Over the last two decades, Open Science and open data have evolved from normative ideals into structural requirements for contemporary research systems. Policy frameworks increasingly mandate openness and promote infrastructures to generate public value from scientific work with open data. However, competence development is often narrowly framed as technical training in research data management or FAIR compliance. This perspective has been criticised as insufficient, as sustainable Open Science education requires integrating disciplinary expertise with managerial, communicative, legal, and technical competences.
