Abstract

The study presents findings from the analysis of skills useful for Open Science (OS) and Open Innovation (OI). Employers both within and outside academia and employed PhD graduates and students in the Czech Republic, Ireland and Denmark were interviewed and job postings aimed at research vacancies were reviewed to identify key skillsets useful in broadly defined OS and OI environments. Five skill profiles of PhD graduates have been identified: (1) collaborative and interdisciplinary research, (2) practical applicability of research results, (3) involving the wider public in research, (4) use of Open Science tools and (5) career planning. Implications of the findings for possible interventions in PhD education systems are discussed.
