Theory and Theorizing in Information Systems Research
The seminar invites you to join the ongoing discourse on theories and theorizing in the Business and Information Systems Engineering (BISE) and Information Systems (IS) research communities. It is designed to help you build and extend your understanding of the nature and role of theory in BISE and IS research. Through discussions and analyses of current theoretical developments in the BISE and IS discipline, and some of its main reference disciplines, you will engage with theory and advance your skills of building your own theoretical contributions. The seminar aims to achieve the following learning objectives: It is designed to help you …(1) … build a foundational understanding of what theory is and what role it plays in research (2) … develop basic theorizing skills and become familiar with extant theorizing strategies (3) … understand the current state-of-the-art in theory and theorizing along with its limitations (4) … develop strategies to publish your own theoretical contributions (5) … build a network of peers to help you develop your own theoretical contributions.

Urheberrecht im Forschungsdatenmanagement – Grundlagen und Praxis
Ein kompakter Impulsvortrag vermittelt die Grundlagen des Urheberrechts im FDM, darunter Themen wie Schutzrechte an Forschungsdaten, Lizenzen und Rechteklärung. Anschließend bearbeiten die Teilnehmenden in Breakout-Sessions konkrete Fallbeispiele, diskutieren typische Herausforderungen und entwickeln gemeinsam Lösungsstrategien für den rechtssicheren Umgang mit Forschungsdaten. Ziel des Workshops ist es, ein rechtliches Grundverständnis im Bereich FDM aufzubauen und Unsicherheiten im Umgang mit urheberrechtlich geschützten Inhalten abzubauen.
Novel Financial Data for Research: Access and Applications
This workshop seeks to highlight research that leverages novel financial data to answer questions that were previously unaddressable, offering new perspectives on economic activity, financial decision-making, and policy impact. In addition, the workshop aims to increase awareness of the availability, scope, and potential of transaction and other financial data by fostering an exchange between researchers and data owners. We welcome empirical studies, methodological advancements, and applications that showcase the unique value of transaction data in driving new insights across economics and related fields.

Open Science Days 2025
“Open Science in the Light of Geopolitical Polarization”
The current geopolitical landscape is characterized by rising political and trade tensions as well as heightened economic interest in scientific innovation. This polarization has significant implications for the global scientific community, particularly in the pursuit of Open Science. Could the naivety of science be exploited? Where is the line between scientific idealism and naivety?
As major global powers engage in systemic rivalries, the conduct of science is increasingly influenced by national security concerns, export controls, and sanctions that can restrict the free flow of ideas, data, and researchers across borders. Meanwhile, global challenges such as pandemics, climate change, and technology-based development require international scientific collaboration and universal knowledge development. The normative nature of the scientific ethos is increasingly in tension with political forces that demand that science be both vigilant and competitive.
How can Open Science – with its emphasis on transparency, collaboration, efficiency and validity of scientific results – be sustained in the light of these competing interests?
Conference on Opening Research Assessment
For research assessment to truly support Open Science, we must prioritise transparency, inclusivity, and fairness in how we recognise research activities and contributions. This means not only ensuring that all contributions to Open Science are valued but also promoting openness in the data, tools, services, and other resources used in the assessment process. We will present the results of the GraspOS project and engage in discussions on transforming research assessment into a system that is open, responsible and aligned with the principles of Open Science.
Einführung in Git und FDM mit GitLab
Mit Hilfe von online bereitstehendem Lernmaterial werden die Teilnehmenden Git installieren, den Zugang zu GitLab erstellen, ein Projekt einrichten und erste Befehle ausführen. Im Workshop werden dann Anwendungsbeispiele diskutiert und Übungen hands-on durchgeführt. Sie erlernen den grundlegenden Umgang mit Git und GitLab und neben der Ausführung erster Befehle erhalten sie einen Eindruck der kollaborativen Zusammenarbeit mit GitLab.
The 20th Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing
The Munin Conference is an annual conference on scholarly publishing and communication, primarily revolving around open access, open data and open science.
OER in der Lehrgestaltung: Grundlagen und praktische Anwendungsfälle
Im Rahmen des Workshops lernen Sie zunächst die wichtigsten (rechtlichen) Grundlagen für die Nutzung und Erstellung offener Bildungsmaterialien kennen. Den Kern des Workshops bildet die praktische Gestaltung offener Lehr-/Lernszenarien. Anhand realer Anwendungsfälle diskutieren Sie Chancen und Herausforderungen offener Lehre und erfahren, wie Sie OER sinnvoll in die Phasen der Lehrplanung, -durchführung und -nachbereitung integrieren können. Darüber hinaus lernen Sie die Funktionen und Features unseres Portals twillo etwas besser kennen.

Im Rahmen dieser Tooltime lernen Sie die wichtigsten Funktionen von H5P kennen, erhalten die Möglichkeit, die Anwendung zu erproben und Rückfragen zu stellen.
Replication Games Münster
Join us for the Münster Replication Games – an event dedicated to reproducing and replicating papers from top-tier academic journals. Replication is an essential part of the scientific process, as it verifies the robustness and reliability of published findings. By participating, you will not only help strengthen research integrity but also expand your network and sharpen your coding and research skills. Participants will be granted co-authorship to a meta-paper combining a large number of replications – an exciting publishing opportunity.
Building the Future of Open Inclusive, Rigorous, and Open Research with FORRT
This event is part of the Coffee Lectures on Open Science Education.
Abstract: The Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT; https://forrt.org) is a global grassroots initiative fostering inclusive, ethical, and rigorous research education. With over 50 active projects and 1500+ contributors from 50+ countries, FORRT bridges metascience, pedagogy, and policy reform to democratize access to high-quality open science training and infrastructures.
Our talk will showcase FORRT’s diverse initiatives, including:
- The FORRT Curriculum: A centralized platform featuring lesson plans, slides, games, and syllabi—all open access and designed to support incremental adoption of open and reproducible practices in education.
- The Replication Hub: Home to the FReD database, the world’s largest curated replication archive, including tools like the FReD Annotator and Robustness Lighthouse to support researchers and educators.
- The Open Science Games Portal: A growing repository of pedagogically grounded games and playful activities designed to make learning open science principles engaging, interactive, and accessible. The games promote experiential learning and are ideal for workshops, classrooms, or public engagement events—lowering barriers to entry and supporting active, inclusive pedagogy.
- Equity and Inclusion Projects: Including our Neurodiversity resources, citational justice toolkit, and Mapping Open Science Organizations initiative—projects that underscore FORRT’s commitment to inclusive, justice-oriented research systems.
- Technological Innovations: Like JUST-OS, an AI-based open science assistant designed to help researchers navigate the complex open science landscape, and our modular Open Science Slides for educators.
- RESOLVE: A multi-work package initiative to map global epistemic inequities, support scholars in the Global South, and provide infrastructures such as the Missing Majority Dashboard and Open Science Participant Demographics tools.
Whether you're an educator, policymaker, student, or researcher, FORRT provides resources and collaboration opportunities to help you integrate open science into teaching, research, and governance. The talk will explore how you can get involved and help shape the future of ethical and reproducible science.
