Open Science Meeting
Connecting open science and open education through digital interactive, executable narratives
Get your tickets now!!
On Wednesday 4 November we will host an Open Science Meeting on the use of Jupyter Book for Scientific and Educational publishing - made possible by NWO and Open Science NL[1]. 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.
In short, we have put together a program that combines inspiration with hands-on experience. You will discover the potential and future of Jupyter Book for open science, open education, and academic publishing, and hear from researchers, educators, and Jupyter Book developers about emerging publishing workflows. In the workshops, you will create and work with Jupyter Books yourself, explore interactive and executable content, and learn how to turn your work into publication-ready outputs - from websites to PDF and Typst. Throughout the day, there will be plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and connect with others working on the future of open publishing.

Full description¶
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 for 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.
