Eventkalender

OpenFest is our flagship celebration and exploration of open research.  The theme for 2026 is “Open Research: People and Place”. The event will explore how open research is shaped by communities, geographic contexts, and organizational practices, highlighting innovative methodologies, inclusive dissemination, and the social and political dimensions of openness.  

This ICOR webinar will focus on perspectives from a range of private funders at different stages of designing and implementing open policy approaches and what they learned along the way.

This event aims at connecting RDM-enthusiastic communities with interesting presentations, engaging session discussions, and plenty of networking opportunities.

Im Workshop "Einführung in Open Access und das Urheberrecht" lernen Sie, wie Forschungsergebnisse und Lehrmaterialien offen und rechtskonform veröffentlicht werden können und erhalten praxisnahe Einblicke in aktuelle Entwicklungen und Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Die Veranstaltung wird im Rahmen des BMFTR-geförderten Projekts open-access.network gemeinsam vom Helmholtz Open Science Office und der Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena für Mitglieder der Thüringer Hochschulen angeboten.

As an part of the open science movement, the reformation of research assessment and relevance of responsible metrics has become more important. Starting with the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) in 2015, followed by the Leiden Manifesto, and more recently the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) in 2022, several key initiatives have emerged. In this talk we provide an overview of the most prominent initiatives, how KIT is involved so far, and what this actually entails for scientists.

An online conference on reproducibility in research: open discussions, fresh perspectives, and community building with researchers worldwide.

Replication is an essential part of the scientific process, as it verifies the robustness and generalizability 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 write reports that they can then submit to one of multiple innovative, scholarly-led open access journals. Why Attend? Join a team of 3-5 researchers and reproduce/replicate a published study. You will be matched based on research interests and a study will be assigned to your team. Graduate students will work closely with more experienced researchers, ensuring that everyone benefits from shared expertise. Connect with fellow researchers from the University of Münster and beyond. Refine your coding skills and data management techniques.

Forschungsdaten sind die Grundlage von Forschungsergebnissen und es wird immer mehr Teil der guten wissenschaftlichen Praxis (GWP) diese wichtigen Informationen anderen Forschenden bzw. der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung zu stellen (Datenpublikation). Zusätzlich verlangen mittlerweile viele deutsche Forschungsförderinstitutionen und europäische Förderprogramme verpflichtende Angaben zu einer Weiterverwendung bzw. Verwertung der Daten nach Abschluss des Projektes. Dies dient einerseits der Nachnutzung durch andere, aber auch der Nachvollziehbarkeit der publizierten Forschungsergebnisse. Eine Festlegung der rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen bei der Veröffentlichung von Forschungsdaten ist dabei erforderlich, um eine klar geregelte Nachnutzung zu ermöglichen. Creative-Commons-Lizenzen bieten solch einen geregelten Rahmen und sind neben der Nutzung bei Bild- und Textpublikationen auch bei der Veröffentlichung von Forschungsdaten inzwischen weit verbreitet. In diesem Vortrag geht es um die Grundlagen dieser freien Lizenzen, ihren Nutzen im Rahmen des Urheberrechts und ihre verschiedenen Anwendungsgebiete. Außerdem erfahren Sie, wie Sie die Nachnutzungsmöglichkeiten Ihrer veröffentlichen Materialien bestimmen und was es dabei zu beachten gibt.

Das fünfte DSgG Community-Treffen findet unter dem Motto “DSgG - from going to growing” statt.

Die Open-Access-Tage sind die zentrale jährliche Konferenz zum Thema Open Access im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie richtet sich an alle, die sich intensiv mit den Möglichkeiten, Bedingungen und Perspektiven des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens befassen. Dazu gehören Wissenschaftler*inInnen sowie Mitarbeiter*inInnen von Bibliotheken und anderen Einrichtungen der Wissenschaftsinfrastruktur ebenso wie Mitglieder der Wissenschaftsadministration und Verlage. Es gibt ein vielseitiges Fachprogramm rund um Open Access, Open Science und das wissenschaftliche Publizieren. 

The course targets researchers who are interested in understanding, conducting, and publishing meta-analytic research. Participants will learn how to conduct and publish a high-quality meta-analysis in the area of management and business research.

Das Online-Seminar gibt Ihnen die Werkzeuge für den operativen Umgang mit dem Analysetool SciVal an die Hand und behandelt im Zuge dessen folgende Themen: Einführung in SciVal - Überblick über die Anwendungsbereiche - Die Module und Entitäten - Zentrale Metriken wie den h-Index oder den Field-Weighted Citation Impact - Anwendungsbeispiele - Sensibilisierung für die steigende Relevanz von Publikationsleistungen.

OpenAIRE is running a series of community calls for ARGOS to support all researchers in meeting their Horizon Europe requirements by creating FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) DMPs. Similarly, it supports all research performing and funding organisations to orchestrate their data services around ARGOS and connect data workflows contributing to interconnected Research Data Management ecosystems. These calls offer the opportunity to discover ARGOS novelties and learn how to benefit from them in your practice, share feedback and discuss the future of DMPs as FAIR and machine actionable outputs, i.e. as complete outputs that bring validated information, qualified references and automations to the table to assist the processes of collecting, documenting and publishing your data.

The learning objective of the course is to enable participants to apply these techniques in design-oriented and/or quantitative empirical research projects.

Dr. Tim Errington is one of the driving forces behind the reproducibility and open science movement, known among other things for the recently published large-scale Reproducibility Project and his work on OSF. In this lecture, he will reflect on what it takes to move open science from principle to practice, and how research culture itself needs to change to make that possible. This event is open to anyone with an interest in open science, research integrity, and research culture, including researchers, PhD candidates, students, policy advisors, and support staff alike.

Conference Theme: Come Invent With Us! Innovating Open Practices to Uphold and Uplift Knowledge as a Public Good. We recognize that invention is most powerfully sparked when different perspectives and practices intersect. Therefore, we look forward to a program that integrates the arts and sciences; Indigenous and Western knowledge systems; global and local viewpoints; research-based and lived experiences; and other open movements (open source software, open data, open access, open science) and open education. 

IOSP is built on a single working principle: the people who depend on open science infrastructure and the people building it should be in the same room, working on the same problems, long enough to make real progress. This year, across the two main working days, we build a participant-owned data storage consortium, publish datasets, code, and knowledge objects to it, create our own algorithms that assess the trust and value of what's published, and assemble community-owned collaboratives that route funding based on their interpretation of that analysis. The pieces of open science already exist. It's time they were woven into a coherent system.
