We will invite participants to discuss the development, challenges, and opportunities of open science. The conference will aim to: create a space for international dialogue; Share good practices; Inspire strategic action planning; Strengthen the culture of open science at the national and international level.

In diesem Meet-up wird Martina Benz, Koordinatorin von open-access.network, das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept von open-access.network vorstellen. Dabei wird sie auf den aktuellen Stand zum Verein eingehen und einen Ausblick auf die Zukunft der Plattform geben.

MEET | SHARE | INSPIRE | CARE -  The day will be full of interactive sessions, an information market, and plenty of opportunities to mingle and meet.

With the growing importance of the social sciences in addressing societal challenges, the significance of a meta-scientific perspective is also increasingly on the rise. We need a deeper understanding of how evidence is generated and communicated to society and policymakers. Replications and meta-studies in particular are becoming increasingly crucial to ensure the reliability and validity of scientific research findings. These approaches help identify heterogeneities and biases, improve methodological standards, and foster transparency, ultimately enhancing the credibility of scientific knowledge.

This event is to showcase, share, and discuss the diverse range of open science activities and experiences taking place at the University of Mannheim and beyond. We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker this year is Vasilka Paunova, the legal counsel for BERD@NFDI, who will present Open and GDPR-Compliant Science – highlighting the legal challenges posed by Open Science and Research Data Management and potential solutions. BERD@NFDI will address the role of Open Science and Research Data Management in business and economics research. We will cover incentives for doing Open Science and their impact on research in the social sciences, as well as shifting journal requirements for transparency in the political sciences. Our latest 2025 awardees will also present their funded projects and the Open Science practices they will use in their diverse research.

Mit der ganztägigen Veranstaltung möchten wir uns zu aktuellen Entwicklungen im FDM in NRW austauschen und einen Raum für informelle Netzwerkarbeit bieten. Vormittags findet im Bibliothekssaal der Universität Duisburg-Essen die Podiumsdiskussion „FDM in NRW: Perspektiven, Ziele, Visionen“ statt. Hier wollen wir u.a. die Umsetzung des Landeskonzepts FDM auf Landesebene und an den Hochschulen diskutieren. Nachmittags findet im Glaspavillon, ebenfalls am Campus Essen, eine Poster Session statt, in der die FDM-Community in drei Tracks zeigen kann, was das FDM an ihren Standorten ausmacht.

The EOSC Symposium will mark the exciting transition of the EOSC Federation into its operational phase. As with previous editions, participants can expect insightful discussions, strategic updates, and unparalleled networking opportunities.

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.

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.

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. Learn about: - Mandatory and recommended Open Science requirements in HE. - Compliance with the HE Open Access to publications mandate. - Managing and sharing Research Data in HE projects. - Delivering Data Management Plans and reporting publications and datasets in HE. - OpenAIRE tools and services to support HE projects.

“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?

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.

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 Munin Conference is an annual conference on scholarly publishing and communication, primarily revolving around open access, open data and open science.

Sie möchten Ihre E-Learning Angebote interaktiv gestalten? H5P ist eine quelloffene Software, mit der sie vielfältige interaktive Lernmedien für das Web erstellen können. Die Materialarten reichen von Quizzen, Zuordnungsaufgaben oder Memories über Videos mit eingebetteten Aufgaben bis hin zu ganzen interaktiven Kursen. Im Rahmen dieser Tooltime lernen Sie die wichtigsten Funktionen von H5P kennen, erhalten die Möglichkeit, die Anwendung zu erproben und Rückfragen zu stellen.

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.

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.
