Summer School for Data Stewards 2026
2026-06-16 - 2026-06-18 | Jeseníky Mountains
The Summer School for Data Stewards is a three-day intensive programme focused on developing skills in research data management in line with FAIR principles.
The programme will guide participants through the full data workflow – from organisation and documentation to practical use. It will focus on creating and managing data management plans using the Data Stewardship Wizard, illustrated with practical examples from the national research data infrastructure. We will also show when and how Jupyter Notebooks can help streamline data work, supporting both analysis and documentation.
The programme will include discussion sessions, providing space for participants to share practical experiences. Attention will also be given to communication skills, which are essential for data stewards in everyday collaboration. The programme will be enriched by an international guest, Matthias Täschner from Leipzig University, whose work and approach we introduced in a recent interview.
The Summer School is intended for both project and institutional data stewards. On the second morning, the programme will be divided into two parallel tracks according to focus areas, allowing participants to choose the option that best suits their interests.
The language of instruction will be adapted to the composition of participants.
All participants will receive a certificate of completion.
The workshop recordings from the Summer School and the presentations will be available. The event will not be streamed (it will not be possible to attend online).
The Summer School has a capacity of 35 participants. If you are considering registering multiple participants from the same institution, please take this into account.
Organisational Information:

Meals and accommodation will be provided for registered participants. Any accommodation required on the day before the programme is the responsibility of the participant.
Travel expenses must be covered individually by participants.
The event is funded by the IPS EOSC-CZ project.

Towards a Swiss EOSC Node: White Paper Presentation and Outlook on the EOSC Candidate Node Switzerland
2026-07-01 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Paris)
During the event, the White Paper on a Swiss EOSC Node, developed in the context of a temporary SERI Working Group together with key Swiss stakeholders in the field of Open Science and research data infrastructures will be presented.
As the international research landscape is undergoing rapid transformation towards federated, interoperable, and secure data-sharing ecosystems, the White Paper aims to inform and enrich the national discussion on how Switzerland can position itself in relation to evolving international data-sharing initiatives, and to support strategic preparation for future engagement—particularly in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation.
At the same time, a Swiss proposal submitted under the second EOSC Federation wave call was positively evaluated earlier this year. Switzerland was therefore formally designated as an EOSC Candidate Node in May 2026.
In this context, Prof. Dr Thomas Schulthess (ETH Zurich, Director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, CSCS) will present the current status and outlook of the Swiss EOSC Candidate Node.

Open Science Week 2026
2026-09-14 - 2026-09-18
To celebrate and advance the practice of Open Science, the Open Science Community Delft as part of the Network of Open Science Communities in the Netherlands (OSC-NL) proudly presents the third National Open Science Week at TU Delft.
This year’s theme, “How to Open Science”, focuses on the practical side of making research more open, transparent, reproducible, and inclusive. While support for Open Science continues to grow across the academic community, many researchers are still looking for concrete ways to integrate Open Science practices into their daily work. This edition of Open Science Week aims to provide hands-on guidance, tools, and inspiration to help researchers move from intention to implementation.
Throughout the week, participants can take part in a series of practical workshops showcasing different approaches to Open Science in research, education, and societal engagement. Whether you are taking your first steps or looking to deepen your existing practice, the programme will offer opportunities to learn from experts, peers, and support professionals across TU Delft.
In addition to the workshops, the week will feature the annual Open Science Meet-up, bringing together researchers, support staff, and students to connect and exchange experiences, as well as the TU Delft Open Science Awards Celebration, recognising individuals and teams who have made outstanding contributions to Open Science.

18th BERLIN OPEN ACCESS CONFERENCE
2026-09-15 - 2026-09-17 | Berlin, Berlin, Germany
18th BERLIN OPEN ACCESS CONFERENCE
RESETTING THE TERMS OF SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING
15–17 September 2026, Harnack House, Berlin, Germany

After a decade of open access agreements, the focus is extending beyond execution to what scholarly publishing is expected to deliver and how to shape system-level outcomes.
The 18th Berlin Open Access Conference (B18) will convene senior leaders from research institutions, library consortia, and funding bodies alongside major publishers to address a central question: What must change now to realign scholarly publishing with the interests of the research community?
Building on years of negotiating and implementing open publishing agreements, B18 will move beyond incremental progress to focus on:

Accountability and transparency – assessing pricing and performance against stated commitments, using shared data
AI and publishing models – implications for cost, licensing, and control of scholarly content
The evolution of open access agreements – clarifying the value of publishing services and aligning costs with that value
Scalable alternatives and coordinated investment – advancing collective approaches to open publishing
Publishing ethics, research integrity and trust – reinforcing expectations for quality and transparency across the system

The conference will combine direct engagement with publishers and closed strategic coordination among negotiators, with the aim of strengthening alignment and advancing system-level change.
B18 is a targeted, invitation-based meeting focused on those shaping agreements and policy. Participation is limited to ensure productive exchange at the highest level and broad geographic representation across the OA Forward community. Further updates will be published on this page.
