In this episode we cover the eLife Innovation Sprint 2020, that was held online on September 2nd and 3rd, 2020. The sprint facilitates collaboration between people who are working on tools, services, and other projects that enhance open science and research.
We talk to the organiser Dr Emmy Tsang, who at the time was the Innovation Community Manager for eLife but is now the Community Engagement Manager for TU Delft. As well as participants from two of the projects that took part: Dr Cássio Amorim, creator of SciGen.Report, 'a platform to easily share and view any information that researchers may have on the reproducibility of papers'. And Esha Datta and Daniel Nüst, who who both joined the sprint to work on the Expanding Open Grants project, developed by Dr Hao Ye, which increases accessibility to examples of grants and proposals.

In this episode we talk to Joy Owango, Founding Director at Training Centre in Communication. We discussed how Open Science is democratising research and access to data and publishing in Africa, the importance of ownership in research, and the challenges inherent in widespread change.
Originally we interviewed another two guests who are involved in the Open Science movement on the African continent: Osman Aldirdiri, founding director of Open Sudan initiative and Jo Havemann, co-founder of the AfricArXiv. Due to technical difficulties we can only publish the audio from Joy Owango. However, we do have a transcript of the full interview with all three guests.
