The ECSA 2026 conference is framed around the notion of Citizen Science bridging Centre and Periphery. This theme explores the diversity of contexts in which citizen science unfolds — from urban metropolitan hubs to remote northern and southern spaces — and emphasizes its role as a link between centre and periphery. Here, we encourage collective analysis […]
Die Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information wurde im April 2024 veröffentlicht und hat das Ziel, offene Forschungsinformationen als Standard in der Wissenschaftscommunity zu etablieren. Während kommerzielle Anbieter den Zugriff auf Metadaten oft exklusiv kontrollieren, zeigt die Barcelona Declaration den Weg zu einer unabhängigen und transparenten Forschungsinfrastruktur mit offenen Forschungsinformationen wie Metadaten zu Publikationen, Forschungsprojekten […]
Wissenschaftliches Publizieren im Open Access (OA) wird heute von den kommerziellen Zielen einer sehr kleinen Anzahl von umsatzorientierten, global agierenden Medienkonzernen dominiert (Gatti et al. 2025, 14). Im Mai 2023 erklärte der Rat der Europäischen Kommission, dass das aktuelle System des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens für öffentliche Forschungsförderer zunehmend unbezahlbar wird. Die steigenden Kosten haben global die Forderung nach […]

The future of open research is uncertain. On the one hand, decades of activism and institutional support have placed the value and significance of intelligent strategies and formats for open research (and its dissemination) beyond doubt. Openness is central to the development of trustworthy, accountable, collaborative, and socially engaged knowledge. On the other hand, open […]
Wie sprechen wir über unsere Welt? Und wer legt die Begriffe, Bedeutungen und Beziehungen fest? Mit der steigenden Menge an Daten und den technologischen Möglichkeiten, diese zu verknüpfen, verschieben sich auch Machtgefüge – mit teils massiven Folgen. Denn wer Daten sammelt, speichert und modelliert, beeinflusst, wie Wissen entsteht und welche Perspektiven und Erzählungen (un)sichtbar werden. Um […]
The Health Data Research Hub (HDRH) at the Medical University of Graz provides a secure data environment and standardized interfaces that form the foundation for data excellence across the entire research data lifecycle—from study planning and the creation of data management plans to long-term storage and the secure reuse of data in analytical environments. This presentation will focus on OMERO, […]
Open Science is an integral part of today’s research. It encompasses a wide range of practices and outputs across all stages of the research lifecycle. For instance, researchers share their publications via repositories, publish in Open Access journals, and disseminate early findings through preprints. They make their data FAIR, preregister their research protocols, and engage […]
