Vision and Background
Openresearch wants to be a valuable tool for everyone in the Amsterdam metropolitan area who is doing research or is looking for information about policy and implementation in Amsterdam. Openresearch is part of a sustainable knowledge infrastructure in Amsterdam, where research and societal developements are investigated and shaped. By sharing knowledge, showing relations and working together we hope to instigate the creativity that is necessary for the complexities of the future.
Openresearch is fascilitated by the municipality of Amsterdam, but the result of the convenant City Deal Kennis Maken, in which Amsterdam universities (of applied sciences), local authorities and further organisations have pledged to collaborate. The editors of openresearch work hard to ensure that the research that is published at openresearch is representative for Amsterdam and its surroundings.
Below, you find the four functions of openresearch explained: collaboration and synergy, disclosure and transparancy, a collective memory, and a toolbox. You will also find collections about the structure and philosophy of openresearch, as well as its history. There are also several video's in which editors tell about the platform. -

City Deal Kennis Maken
The aim of the City Deal Kennis Maken is to accelerate the process of solving the social challenges of cities by involving researchers, lecturers and students on a large scale. The cities, knowledge institutions and other partners consider this on the one hand as a form of knowledge utilization and on the other hand as offering the city as a learning environment for students. Central to the City Deal are talent development, entrepreneurship and the stimulation of social involvement. Amsterdam is participating in this City Deal, as are Nijmegen, Delft, Enschede, Groningen, Leiden, Maastricht, Rotterdam, Tilburg, Utrecht and Wageningen.
Below you will find the projects in which Amsterdam is or has been involved. -

Chief Science Office
The city as a complex system requires more research and connection between the different forms of knowledge (scientific, practice-oriented, design and experience). The Chief Science Officer, Caroline Nevejan, is the central point of contact for the municipality and the knowledge institutions when it comes to knowledge and research. The CSO's important task is to give a more structured way shape to the cooperation (on metropolitan themes) between the municipality, the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, the Amsterdam Economic Board and the Amsterdam knowledge institutions and to (further) develop a sustainable knowledge infrastructure in the city. The CSO stimulates, initiates and connects different research contexts.
The CSO is responsible for:
- Identifying trends and developments and introducing them into Amsterdam's implementation, policy and decision-making. In this context, the CSO also contributes to the strategic agenda for Amsterdam (established by the GMT) by connecting it to the current state of knowledge and science. This involves close collaboration with, among others, the CTO and the Urban Strategy Team.
- Developing collaborations with the knowledge institutions in a more structured way and (further) develop a sustainable knowledge infrastructure in the city. The city is a complex system and this necessitates more research and connection between the different forms of knowledge (scientific, practice-oriented, design and experience).
- Directing and documenting networks such as the network of municipal professors and municipal PhD students, the Design Thinking network and the Citydeal Kennis Maken network.
- Documenting and participating in research networks of researchers in the municipality of Amsterdam and researchers in knowledge institutions such as the network of research coordinators of RVEs and district organizations (SDOs), the researchers' consultation (CoEs and SDOs) and the network of area managers. As far as possible, links are made to existing forums, and where necessary the CSO team directs additional networks.
- The relationship with the knowledge institutions and is the point of contact for administrators and top management of both the municipality and the various knowledge institutions. The CSO team, in collaboration with Economic Affairs, provides the secretariat for various structural meetings, consultations and networks between the City of Amsterdam and the various knowledge institutions.

The genesis of open research
On April 21, 2020, openresearch.amsterdam became freely accessible to the general public. A history of more than twenty years preceded this moment. For example, in 2001 Caroline Nevejan developed a first digital learning environment for the AUAS in which teachers published themselves. In her dissertation she developed the YUPTA method – in which the role of design in witnessing (the work of) the other is central. A version was created at TU Delft where students' work was shared. The core idea behind the platform is that the technical structure (a semantic web) facilitates the creation of relationships and meanings. In the videos below, Caroline Nevejan and the people she has worked with talk about the origins of openresearch.amsterdam.
