This workshop will focus on the practical steps involved in identifying suitable journals for open access publishing. Participants will learn how to interpret a journal’s open access policy, including embargo periods, article processing charges (APCs), and self-archiving conditions. Using dedicated tools and databases, participants will explore publishing options relevant to their own disciplinary fields and compare journals in terms of openness, compliance with funders’ requirements and publishing constraints. Attendance at the webinar on open access is strongly recommended to fully benefit from this hands-on workshop.

This DataSnack introduces AI Agents as an advanced approach for applying generative AI to research. Unlike conventional chat-based tools, AI Agents are software systems that can plan, reason, and act to perform multiple tasks on behalf of researchers, enabling them to automate routine and time-consuming processes such as literature reviews, data analysis, and the documentation of lab work. The session will highlight how this shift from interaction to orchestration can reduce manual workload and improve research efficiency through practical use cases. It will also address data governance, focusing on how researchers can maintain control over sensitive data while responsibly integrating AI into their workflows. Participants will leave with a practical understanding of how to begin using AI Agents to support their daily research processes and streamline routine tasks.

We would love for you to join us from June 2 to June 5, 2026, to engage, connect, and collaborate around the theme of Championing Data.

IASSIST (International Association for Social Science Information Services and Technology) is an international organization of professionals working with information technology and data services to support research and teaching. IASSIST members are working together to advocate for responsible data management and use, to build a broader community surrounding research data, and encourage the development of data professionals.

Wie gestalten wir KI-Leitlinien an Hochschulen transparent, umsetzbar und im Sinne guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis? In diesem Workshop bringen wir Erfahrungen aus Policy-Entwicklung und Open Science zusammen: mit Katrin Frisch (OWID), Dr. Carolin Odebrecht (HU Berlin), Lambert Heller (TIB), Tobias R. Ortelt (Universität Dortmund) und Jens Tobor (CHE/Hochschulforum Digitalisierung) mit ausreichend Raum für Peer-Learning. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle, die in ihrer Einrichtung KI-Policies entwickeln oder umsetzen.

This training introduces the PUNCH4NFDI platform as an entry point to Digital Research Products (DRPs) and their role in enabling FAIR and reproducible research. Participants will explore how research outputs are described, connected, and discovered through metadata, and gain practical experience with container technologies and workflow execution. The training combines guided demonstrations with hands-on sessions, equipping participants to apply these tools and concepts in their own research workflows.

How do machines learn to make the right choices? How can individuals, firms, organizations, and researchers use automated decision-making? This course provides an introduction and intuition for designing algorithms that allow machines to learn based on reinforcements. Reinforcement learning provides decision rules based on learning from partial, implicit, and delayed feedback. The course includes 4 live Online Meetings, in which you will discuss the week’s contents with the instructor and fellow participants.

The Barcamp Open Science is a barcamp dedicated to the Open Science movement. It is open to everybody interested in connecting with like-minded people embracing Open Science, unlocking new perspectives and networking on Open Science, and thriving Open Science together! Save the date!

Die Teilnehmenden erwartet zunächst ein fundierter inhaltlicher Einstieg: SeDOA eröffnet das Programm mit einem Einführungsvortrag zu Diamond Open Access und Finanzierung, der die aktuellen Perspektiven und Entwicklungen beleuchtet. Im Anschluss stellen Vertreterinnen verschiedener konsortialer Finanzierungsmodelle ihre Ansätze vor. Mit dabei sind: edu_consort_oa – Verbundprojekt Open Access-Konsortium Bildung für E-Books und Zeitschriften (DIPF) - KOALA (TIB) - FID Media (UBL Leipzig & Philipps Universität Marburg) - OLEcon - Open Library Economics (ZBW). Ergänzend präsentiert Anita Eppelin (TIB) den Diamond Funding Navigator, ein Recherchetool, das einen Überblick über bestehende und neue DOA-Finanzierungsangebote bietet. Anschließend folgt ein interaktives Format: An virtuellen „Messeständen“ haben die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit, direkt mit den Vertreterinnen der vorgestellten Angebote ins Gespräch zu kommen, Fragen zu stellen und sich vertieft auszutauschen.

The Open Science Community Maastricht and the Open Science Community Parkstad warmly invite researchers, educators, students, and anyone curious about Open Science to sign up for the Open Science Festival Limburg 2026. Over two inspiring days, we’ll explore the theme of interdisciplinarity. Participants can look forward to workshops, keynote presentations, interactive sessions, and opportunities to connect with colleagues from both within and beyond the Open Science Community. Whether you’re looking to gain new insights, share your experiences, or simply connect with others who are passionate about Open Science, there will be plenty of opportunities to engage and exchange ideas.

The Open Horizons Symposium is a two-day event with panels, discussions and talks by leaders in open education in Canada. The event is hosted at the University of Manitoba and online, and is open to faculty, instructors, students and open education advocates in Manitoba and beyond.

The symposium offers a dynamic environment to explore and advance conversations on open education, affordability, accessibility, and digital innovation – key areas shaping the future of learning. This two‑day event brings together diverse voices from across Manitoba and beyond to share emerging practices, strengthen cross‑institutional partnerships, and inspire collective action to expand educational opportunities for all Manitobans. 

Have any doubts or questions about your obligations as a Horizon Europe (HE) grant holder in terms of Open Access to publications and Research Data Management? We will present the HE requirements, followed by some time for your questions to our experts. You will also get a preview of the main tools and services OpenAIRE provides to help project coordinators and research support staff on the requirements' compliance.

We are celebrating CESSDA's impact over 50 years on open science and open data in the European Research Area and beyond. The Goal is to strengthen synergies and foster meaningful dialogue about data across disciplines, institutions, and borders. The Topics are FAIR and trustworthy data ecosystems, evidence-based policy, future-ready research infrastructures, skills for open science, and much more!

The conference focuses on theoretical or empirical contributions for these topics: New and experimental Developments in AI - (AI-driven) Entrepreneurship and AI-driven Business Models and Strategies - AI in Business Administration and Processes, e.g., Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Human Resources, Marketing, Production, Supply Chain Management, Quality and Sustainability Management - GenAI, explainable AI and Decision-making; Risk and Opportunities of AI-Agents - Ethics, Regulation and Policy of AI- Digital Transformation of Skills and Jobs - Infrastructure, Energy and Finance supply and AI Competitiveness - Micro- and Macroeconomic framework: Competition, Productivity and Markets.

In the scientific environment with ever-changing requirements, it is important to produce source code that can be read, understood and modified by ourselves or others. This workshop will teach you how to apply clean code principles and refactoring techniques to produce high quality, maintainable code.
