National Open Science Festival 2024 at Maastricht University
2024-10-22 | Maastricht, Netherlands
Maastricht University (UM) will be the venue for the National Open Science Festival on 22 October 2024 at the School of Business and Economics (SBE). Since the founding of Open Science NL, it has taken over the organisation of the festival and made an annual budget available for it. However, the National Open Science Festival is truly a festival for and by the community. The organising committee of the 2024 edition comprises staff from UM, Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS), National Coordination Point Research Data Management (LCRDM) and Open Science NL. Additionally, a programme committee reflecting the broad Open Science community is currently being formed. Read more about this event on the website of Open Science NL.
Registration
The opening of registration will be announced via the Open Science NL website and newsletter, as well as via DANS, LCRDM, UM and OSCNL. Furthermore, the National Open Science Festival will once again feature its own website, offering people the opportunity to sign up as presenters for programme components or register as visitors.
The importance of Open Science at UM
The aim of Open Science is to strengthen collaboration, both among individual researchers and between other parties and scientists. Open Science makes research more transparent, controllable, faster, more efficient, reproducible and more sustainable. The idea is that civil society organisations, patient organisations, companies and other organisations can all benefit from easy access to scientific research. The National Open Science Festival embodies this vision and invites researchers and support staff with an interest in Open Science to attend, learn from each other and exchange ideas.
Visit the UM website on Open Science to learn how to incorporate it into your research.

sovereignty and thus promotes decolonial thinking. The Decolonize the
Library Network in German-speaking Countries invites you after the talk,
inspired by this practice, to discuss options for decolonial handling of
data in libraries.

CARE-Prinzipien
2024-10-02 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Die FAIR-Prinzipien (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) sind mittlerweile die anerkannten Leitlinien im Umgang mit Forschungsdaten und legen den Fokus auf technische und organisatorische Aspekte wie die Annotation von Metadaten, die Veröffentlichung und Registrierung von DOIs sowie die Vergabe von Lizenzen für eine möglichst freie Nachnutzbarkeit. Die möglichst freie Verfügbarkeit und ein freier Datenaustausch sind die gesetzten Ziele.
Die CARE-Prinzipien (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) hingegen stehen für einen angemessenen Umgang mit Daten, die indigene Gemeinschaften betreffen, und sollen die FAIR-Prinzipien ergänzen. Im Gegensatz zu FAIR fokussiert sich CARE nicht auf die Erleichterung des Datenaustauschs, sondern auf die Wahrung der Interessen indigener Gemeinschaften, einer fairen Beteiligung an der Wertschöpfungskette und der Rückgabe von Kontrolle über Daten wie Bildern und Artefakten.

Collective Benefit zielt darauf ab, Daten indigener Gemeinschaften so zu verwenden, dass diese daraus Nutzen bei öffentlichen Entscheidungsprozessen, der Selbstbestimmung und der gerechten Realisierung von generierten Werten haben.
Authority to Control verfolgt das Ziel, die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften an ihren Daten anzuerkennen und zu wahren. Das erstreckt sich über die Erhebung und Nutzung von Daten im Rahmen der Selbstbestimmung bis hin zur aktiven Kontrolle des Zugangs zu Daten indigenen Ursprungs.
Responsibility richtet sich an diejenigen, die mit Daten indigenen Ursprungs arbeiten. Diese müssen belegen, wie sie mit diesen Daten umgehen und welcher Nutzen für die indigene Gemeinschaft daraus entsteht. Die Nutzung indigener Daten verlangt dabei die Sicherstellung eines respekt- und würdevollen Umgangs mit den Daten. Gleichzeitig soll die Data Literacy indigener Gemeinschaften soweit ausgebaut werden, dass diese Daten eigenständig und im Einklang mit ihren Werten erstellen kann.
Der Ethics-Aspekt legt fest, dass die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften und deren Wohlergehen gewahrt werden. Dazu zählt die Vermeidung von Schaden durch die Datennutzung, ein gerechter Umgang mit dem Ungleichgewicht von Macht und Ressourcen sowie die Berücksichtigung der zukünftigen Datennutzung.

Der Vortrag streift Fragen der Forschungsethik und stellt die CARE-Prinzipien sowie deren praktische Umsetzung vor. Dabei wird die Relevanz von CARE für Forschungsdaten über Daten indigenen Ursprung hinaus skizziert.

The cOAlition S initiative and the road ahead
2024-09-27 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
This presentation highlights cOAlition S, an initiative dedicated to making full and immediate Open Access to research publications a reality. The Executive Director of cOAlition S, Johan Rooryck will briefly present the work of cOAlition S in the last five years and subsequently present the plans that cOAlition S is currently preparing for the next five years, pending approval of the cOAlition S Leaders’ Group. These plans aim to facilitate the transition towards an open, trustworthy, and equitable scholarly communication system that meets the needs of both research and society. cOAlition S will seek to do this in partnership with the research community, and through its funding requirements and research assessment processes.

Shaping the Future of Cultural Heritage: “Connecting the Cultural Heritage Cloud with the common European data space for cultural heritage and the European Open Science Cloud”
2024-09-27 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
The Cultural Heritage Cloud – or European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) – is a European Union initiative to create a digital infrastructure that will connect cultural heritage researchers and professionals across the EU. It will develop specific digital collaborative tools for the sector while removing barriers for smaller and remote institutions. The goal is to help cultural heritage institutions, research organisations and other professional organisations of all kinds and sizes to work with their digital objects in a more visible, interconnected, harmonised, and informed way, to successfully cope with the challenges the digital transition poses to the sector and seize its opportunities. The Cultural Heritage Cloud will add a new digital dimension to cultural heritage preservation, conservation, restoration and enhancement by providing cutting-edge technologies, for instance for the digitization of artefacts or for researching artworks. The implementation of this initiative has now begun with the EU-funded project ECHOES – European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science, which started on the 1 of June 2024.
Two other initiatives are currently running at European level:

funded by the Digital Europe programme, the common European data space for cultural heritage is an EU flagship initiative to accelerate the digital transformation of the sector and foster creation, access and reuse of heritage data.
The vision for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to put in place a system for researchers in Europe to store, share, process, analyse, and reuse data within and across disciplines and borders.

In this webinar, we’ll learn more about the Cloud and two other European initiatives, and how they are interconnected and complementary, how these initiatives interact with the Cloud, and what the added value of such connections is for the cultural heritage community.

Federation Handbook consultation
2024-09-26 23:59 | Online
In the context of its role in the Tripartite Group, EOSC-A is leading on the drafting of the EOSC Federation Handbook, which will comprehensively address the purpose, structure, governance, architecture and operations of the EOSC Federation.
The EOSC Federation Handbook is being written collaboratively with weekly meetings of the writers and monthly meetings with the reviewers and the Tripartite Group.
The first three chapters of the EOSC Federation Handbook addressing, respectively, the “Purpose”, “Governance and legal framework”, and “Operational structure and responsibilities” of the EOSC Federation have been drafted following this process, and will be made available for a community consultation from 16-26 September 2024.
The results of this consultation will be presented at the EOSC Symposium 2024 in Berlin and integrated into the initial chapters of the Handbook, which will be submitted for endorsement at November’s European Tripartite meeting.
