Event Calendar

The goal of this methodology course is to give interested, young scientists an understanding of the essential elements of quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

Under the theme “Metadata in Action,” this conference is where diverse perspectives meet. Infrastructure providers, data stewards, researchers, and centre operators come together to exchange ideas, showcase solutions, and discuss how metadata acts towards shaping data quality, interoperability, and innovation in research. Whether you design infrastructures, manage data, or conduct research, this is your opportunity to see how improved metadata practices lead to better science. Join us to explore how metadata is not just managed - but making a difference.

We have designed this event as a collaborative space for conversation: a place to share ongoing community projects, gather your feedback on our activities, and identify new opportunities for partnership and support. Whether you are looking for new project partners or simply want to stay updated on the latest data trends, we look forward to uniting the community – bridging the gap between researchers and practitioners while fostering new collaborations in research data and open science across the Business, Economics, and Related Data disciplines.

Our goal is to facilitate the development of open research practices explicitly geared to serve the public interest, which involves interrogating what may constitute that ‘public interest’ to different audiences and in different locations around the world. A central element for our discussions will be the development of a Munich Manifesto for Equitable Open Research, detailing ways to utilise open research to foster reliable, responsible, and equitable forms of inquiry. A draft text of the manifesto will be circulated two weeks before the conference to all participants, and one session of the conference will be dedicated to discussing and finalising the declaration and its possible signatories.

The workshop provides an overview of key concepts along the research data lifecycle—from planning and organization to documentation, storage, archiving, and publication of research data. Participants will gain practical insights into how research data can be organized, described, and made accessible in a structured way. The workshop demonstrates how requirements of Good Scientific Practice and the FAIR principles can be implemented in everyday research practice. In addition, expectations of funding organizations, research institutions, and publishers regarding research data management will be introduced, and legal aspects of working with research data will be discussed.

With the Open Science Retreat, the ZBW wants to bring together international Open Science supporters from different stakeholder groups. For two afternoons in a row, the aim is to dive deep into the topics that are of burning interest to all of us. The next topic will be "OS and geopolitical tensions/data sovereignty".

This input looks at how Open Access publications are handled in the context of **Horizon Europe funding requirements**, and what this means in practice for researchers and institutions. It also highlights the role of major publishers such as Wiley, Elsevier, and Springer Nature, particularly in the context of Germany’s nationwide DEAL agreements.

During the workshop, you will first learn about the most important (legal) principles for the use and creation of open educational materials. The core of the workshop is the practical design of open teaching/learning scenarios. Using real use cases, you will discuss the opportunities and challenges of open teaching and learn how you can integrate OER into the phases of lesson planning, implementation and follow-up in a meaningful way. You will also get to know the functions and features of our portal www.twillo.de a little better.

During the workshop, we will explore in greater depth issues surrounding the reuse of open educational resources. We see that open learning materials are being shared, but that reuse is lagging behind. But what do we mean by reuse, and which elements play a key role in this? We look forward to discussing research and user experience on the topic, and more.

SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians invite you to the fifteenth virtual workshop of the Embrace the Open series.

We look forward to discussing research and user experience on the topic, and more.

Building on the work of the CIVICA Open Science Communities, the programme features keynotes, panels, lightning talks, and networking opportunities. Our aim is to highlight the specific opportunities and challenges that open science brings to the social science, and to invite discussion about best practices between disciplines.

This one-day hybrid event will bring together researchers, professional services staff and key stakeholders, with the aim to advance open science in the social sciences.

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 10|KSWD wird einen interdisziplinären und offenen Dialog zur Weiterentwicklung der Forschungsdateninfrastruktur fördern und gemeinsame Perspektiven für eine verantwortungsbewusste Nutzung sensibler Daten eröffnen. Neben nationalen Herausforderungen werden auch Fragen des europäischen und internationalen Datenaustauschs in den Blick genommen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Fragen rund um die Infrastruktur zur Forschung mit Daten und deren Bedeutung für Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft. Fundierte, aktuelle und verlässliche Daten sind die Voraussetzung, um gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen zu verstehen und zu gestalten.

Diese Tagung berücksichtigt ein umfassendes und vielfältiges Themenspektrum: KI im Bibliotheksalltag - nI in der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Forschung und Lehre - Open Economics - Kooperative Lizenzierung - Forschungsdaten - Postersession zu verschiedenen Themen.
