The session will focus on how Diamond Open Access (OA) publishing and open infrastructures interact with ongoing reform efforts in research evaluation, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of aligning non-profit publishing with emerging assessment models. It will examine how infrastructures are being developed to support a more open approach to research assessment—enhancing the visibility of Diamond OA journals and aligning with broader efforts such as CoARA and the Barcelona Declaration. It will also highlight how emerging standards and practices help ensure the quality and credibility of non-profit publishing.

Unsere  Coffee Lecture-Reihe „Forschungsdatenmanagement und Wissenschaftspolitik“ gibt Einblicke in die wissenschaftspolitischen Beweggründe und Akteure hinter der Stärkung des FDM. Neben dem wissenschaftspolitischen Kontext gehen wir auf  aktuelle FDM-Anforderungen wichtiger Drittmittelgeber für die anwendungsorientierte Forschung ein und geben Ihnen einen Einblick, wie Sie die neuen Standards erfolgreich umsetzen.

We invite you to join two webinars showcasing the recently published Conceptual Architecture for the Implementation of a Responsible Research Assessment Framework Built on Open Infrastructures, developed by the CoARA Working Group "Towards Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment (OI4RRA)." Natalia Manola, Co-Chair of the Working Group and CEO of OpenAIRE, will present the key concepts and recommendations from the work, emphasizing how open, community-governed infrastructures can enable fair, transparent, and responsible research assessment practices. The webinars will take place 23.05. and 26.05.

This event aims to explore different OA business models, regional and disciplinary variations, and best practices through concrete examples. Through concise pitches, the invited speakers will share their experiences with Open Access publishing, covering a diverse range of topics.

Got an assignment coming up and don't know how to start? Our online seminar (in English) teaches you essential research and writing skills in a 30-minute session. The topic of this session is "Identify quality publications that you can cite".

This year edition of the workshop will gravitate around the following theme: "Open Access of Research Information". In particular, the first day will be dedicated to the Bologna Meeting on Open Research Information, to encourage discussion between the signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration and other interested bodies and collaboratively orient the common roadmap, thus allowing the articulation of the outcomes that have recently been discussed during the Paris Conference on Open Research Information. The second day will be dedicated to invited contributions, presentations and a poster session selected among the participants in the call for contributions on the workshop theme.

Diese Coffee lecture gibt einen knappen Überblick über die meistgenutzten Methoden zur Datendokumentation. Wir legen den Fokus darauf, wie diese dazu beitragen die zukünftige Nachnutzung zu gewährleisten und welche Tools und Techniken die Datendokumentation möglichst aufwandsarm in die täglichen Arbeitsabläufe integrieren können

The DIAMAS project has made a major contribution towards establishing a high-quality, aligned,community-led, and sustainable scholarly communication ecosystem that aims to make open access the standard practice for publications across Europe. As the project nears its conclusion, we are excited to announce the Final Conference titled “The Future of Diamond Open Access Publishing in Europe and Beyond,” scheduled for 3 June in Brussels, Belgium. This one-day event will provide an opportunity to learn about the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in Diamond open access. Participants will engage with experts, policymakers, and peers to explore innovative ideas for advancing scholarly communication.This event will be delivered in partnership with The Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), as the host of the event.

Im interaktiven Workshop werden die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten erkundet, wie Künstliche Intelligenz die Welt der Open Educational Resources (OER) transformiert und deutlich erleichtern kann. Dieser Workshop richtet sich an Hochschullehrende, die ihre Lehrmaterialien auf innovative Weise gestalten möchten. Die Teilnehmenden erfahren, wie KI dabei helfen kann, OER effektiver zu gestalten und den Arbeitsaufwand zu reduzieren.

On 5 June, the European University Association will publish a new briefing on ‘Reclaiming academic ownership of the scholarly communication system: Challenges and opportunities for universities’. During this launch event speakers will present insights and key considerations from the briefing, setting the stage for an open discussion with the audience to explore pathways toward a just scholarly publishing ecosystem, as envisioned in the EUA Open Science Agenda 2025.

How can we improve the accessibility of statistical knowledge and the application of statistical methods to data in practice? The interactive workshop “Making Data Work: Tools for Better Statistical Practice” brings together experts developing and evaluating tools that support learning and practice in statistics and data science.

Die Erstellung von Lehr- und Lernmaterialien mithilfe von Software gehört für viele Lehrende zum Alltag. Doch nicht jedes Programm eignet sich uneingeschränkt für OER. In diesem Spotlight zeigt unsere Juristin exemplarisch, worauf bei den Nutzungsbedingungen zu achten ist, und welche Programme OER-freundlich sind – und welche eher nicht.

This 2-day conference will mark the culmination of The University of Manchester’s Opening up Research programme 2024/2025 and is a collaborative effort by the Office for Open Research, the School of Engineering Open Research Lead, the UK Reproducibility Network, and the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute. The conference brings together researchers from across the disciplines to explore the latest advances and to discuss important topical questions being posed by society around open research and integrity.

"Concerned about the reproducibility and transparency of research? Interested in learning more about meta-research, or the science of science? Looking for hands-on experience? Excited to work with other early career researchers across disciplines?"

Meta-analysis encompasses a broad set of methods to conduct a systematic, quantitative review of the literature in order to derive empirical generalizations. This workshop will deal with methods for conducting a meta-analysis. The purpose is to train the participants to conduct and publish a high-quality scientific meta-analysis within the broad field of management research.

Wir wollen die Synergien an der Schnittstelle von Open Education und Open Science gemeinsam ausloten und durch einen intensiven Austausch zwischen den Akteur:innen Potenziale beleuchten, die sich aus einer engeren Zusammenarbeit der jeweiligen Akteur:innen ergeben. Anhand verschiedener Schwerpunkte werden in interaktiven Formaten konkrete Ideen thematisiert, wie Open Education und Open Science voneinander lernen und als Treiber der digitalen Transformation in der Hochschulbildung fungieren können. In verschiedenen Formaten der Tagung werden zudem auch weitere aktuelle und relevante Themen wie Demokratiebildung und Künstliche Intelligenz thematisiert.
