The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is hosting a series of virtual public listening sessions to explore perspectives from the early career researcher community on the challenges and opportunities for advancing open science in the United States.

FORMAT: The virtual listening sessions are open to the public; each session focuses on a particular topic. If a participant would like to share their views, they can indicate their intent to speak on the registration form and they will be welcomed to raise their hand during the listening session. To accommodate a wide array of viewpoints, speakers will be allotted up to two minutes per comment. If time permits, participants may deliver more than one comment.
