Open Science Resources: Towards the development of a Shared Digital Repository for Formal and Informal Science Education

Open Science Resources (OSR) is an OPAL award-winning collaborative European Commission model project that aims to create a shared repository of learning resources currently dispersed in European science museums and science centres. The aim of the OSR project is to create a shared repository of scientific digital objects — currently dispersed in European science museums and science centres — to make them more widely and coherently available, searchable, and usable in the context of formal and informal learning situations.
