Core values

Academic freedom is very important to scientists in the SYNC lab. We believe it is important that scientists have the freedom to pursue their own ideas.

Our ambition is to be as transparent about our scientific process and outputs as possible. We embrace the practices that are often placed under the umbrella of Open Science. For us, open science means supporting good research practices, improving reproducibility of research findings, making our outputs (e.g., articles, code) accessible for all, and aiming for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) research data. On this page you can find some examples of how we put this in practice.

In the SYNC lab, we highly value the public understanding and practical implications of scientific knowledge. Therefore, we think it is important to share the knowledge we obtain during our research projects with others. This knowledge may be of use to youth, parents, or professionals (such as teachers).

At the Erasmus-SYNC lab we speak up against racism and strive to enable equality. We want to be a community where everyone feels at home and gets the opportunity to excel. No path is the same, we aim to give freedom to follow your own path and dreams.
