Open Science Meeting

Open science is often limited by fragmented workflows, where narrative, code, and data are developed and shared separately, hindering reproducibility and transparency. Interactive, executable narratives address this by integrating text, computation, and data into a single, accessible format, enabling others to inspect, reproduce, and extend research with minimal friction. Platforms such as Jupyter Book operationalize this approach, providing a unified publishing pipeline for articles, theses, and teaching materials. By lowering the barrier to reproducible communication, this infrastructure naturally bridges open science and open education, supporting shared, reusable, and transparent knowledge.

The goal of the meeting that we will host in Delft is to strengthen the adoption of Jupyter Book as a key infrastructure for open science and open education – especially writing thesis and publishing textbooks. We aim to enable participants to use Jupyter Book through hands-on experience, while building a shared understanding of its capabilities and potential applications in research.

The meeting will facilitate the exchange of expertise in scientific and educational publishing, with a focus on reproducible, executable, and interactive outputs. Participants will get acquainted with and share workflows, templates, and best practices, as well as reusable resources such as workshop materials that can support further dissemination at their own institutions.

In addition, the meeting will provide insight into the current state-of-the-art in publishing technologies, highlighting what is already possible and exploring future developments by connecting researchers, educators, and core JB developers.
