They represent SFU's continued commitment to sharing the products of its research and innovation.
Community Consultations
Input from the SFU community was crucial to shaping the open science and open scholarship initiative. The consultation process included engagement with faculty, staff and students to tailor the guiding principles to the needs of the SFU research community.鈥� A series of townhalls were held in January 2024 to present the draft principles and receive feedback from the community.
