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.

Struggling to turn data into valuable insights? Wondering where to find the right research data for your topic? Finding it tough to choose the right algorithms and methods? Or maybe you just have a data-related question that has been on your mind for a while, but you have not had the right space to ask it? You are a PhD candidate, early-career researcher, or advanced Master’s student in business, economics, or the social sciences, and you are facing questions like these? Then join our EconData Workshop and bring any data question you have not yet had the chance to ask. Choose the topics you want to focus on, and we will provide practical advice you can use right away in your research. Just come with your questions, and leave with fresh strategies.

The Conference will serve as an urgent call to accelerate transformations in science and scholarship in alignment with the Pact for the Future, to map progress in national and international efforts towards opening the record of science, and to inspire collaborative actions and coalitions to expedite progress ensuring no country, community, or individual is left behind.

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.

“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?
