SUMMARY:Open Science in the light of geopolitical polarisation
DESCRIPTION:The current geopolitical landscape is characterised by rising political and trade tensions as well as heightened economic interest in scientific innovation. This polarisation 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? \nAs 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. \nHow can Open Science – with its emphasis on transparency\, collaboration\, efficiency and validity of scientific results – be sustained in the light of these competing interests? \nDuring this year’s Open Science Days\, we will explore these tensions by discussing the interrelations of Open Science\, political interests\, and innovation. We will ask how research organizations can reconcile Open Science policies with resilience and competitiveness. \n\n\nAbout Open Science Days\nThe Open Science Days (OSD) are periodically organised by the Max Planck Digital Library. \nIn the context of this conferences we deal with various aspects of a global movement towards a more open\, transparent and reproducible approach to science. Aside from invited expert talks\, participants get the opportunity to present their own ideas\, experiences\, initiatives or activities in a Lightning Talk session. It is an open discussion platform around current Open Science developments. \nThe hybrid event is directed at researchers and specialists outside the Max Planck Society as well as within. It is for anyone\, who is interested in an interdisciplinary communication about Open Science.

SUMMARY:Opening Research Assessment
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe invite you to our Conference on Opening Research Assessment\, where 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe GraspOS project supports the emerging policy reforms and paves the way for a responsible research assessment system that is fully aware of and integrated with Open Science practices. GraspOS focuses on developing\, assessing\, and operating an open federated infrastructure designed to aggregate open resources that can catalyse the implementation of relevant policy reforms. \nThe Conference will not only showcase the key outcomes and insights of the project\, but will also feature invited talks and expert panels addressing critical topics for advancing a responsible research assessment system that fully embraces Open Science principles including: \n\n\n\nOpen infrastructures for responsible research assessment\nTransparency and inclusivity of the assessment processes\nRecognition of contributions to Open Science \n\n\n\nWe also invite poster contributions aligned with these themes by anyone interested. Guidelines on how to submit a contribution for the Poster Session are available below.

SUMMARY:Participate in the European Research Area Act consultation
DESCRIPTION:Brussels — The European Commission has opened a public consultation on the forthcoming European Research Area Act\, inviting contributions from all stakeholders. The consultation is open until 5 January 2026.\nThe European Research Area (ERA) Act represents a major policy initiative to strengthen the EU’s research and innovation landscape. Its objective is to overcome persistent challenges such as fragmented regulatory frameworks\, uneven research and innovation investments across Member States\, and barriers that hinder researchers’ mobility\, collaboration and knowledge sharing. \nA central ambition of the ERA Act is to advance the EU’s “fifth freedom”\, i.e. the free circulation of researchers\, scientific knowledge and technology throughout the Single Market. Through this consultation\, the Commission aims to gather evidence on the obstacles preventing the full realisation of the ERA\, and to collect stakeholders’ views on the policy and legislative solutions needed at EU level. \nHave your say on the ERA Act and share your insights on topic relevant for EOSC and the broader Open Science and research infrastructure ecosystem in Europe! \n\nParticipate in public consultation on the ERA Act

SUMMARY:ECSA 2026
DESCRIPTION: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 and visioning for the potential of citizen science to reduce inequalities between centres of power and scientific attention and their associated hinterlands (which may indeed have little geographic distance between them). The theme invites reflections on how citizen science acts as a bridge across geographic\, cultural\, social and institutional divides. Doing so invites contributions that consider the ability of citizen science to work towards sustainability\, support evidence-based decision-making\, improve public health\, engage with political and legal frameworks\, promote integrated resource management\, and honour cultural and historical contexts. \nIn light of ongoing global challenges\, we invite scholars\, practitioners\, and community actors to assess the current state of citizen science — giving attention to emerging directions and pressing challenges\, and to promising opportunities for the forms of critical\, engaged work that have long shaped the practice. \nDimensions\n\nChallenges and opportunities of citizen science across centres and peripheries\nWhat are the specific challenges and opportunities of implementing citizen science in contexts that are socially\, geographically\, institutionally\, or scientifically distant from centres of power? How can citizen science serve as a tool for inclusion\, innovation\, and transformation in areas or fields that are often overlooked or underrepresented?\nCitizen science and inclusion: reaching marginalised communities\nHow can citizen science empower and engage marginalised communities in scientific research and decision-making processes — if at all? What conditions are necessary to ensure that such engagement is meaningful\, respectful\, and equitable? What potential impacts — both positive and negative — can citizen science have on marginalised communities\, and how can these be addressed or leveraged for lasting benefit? Is citizen science an appropriate or welcome framework\, particularly where dominant or Eurocentric models may risk reinforcing unequal power dynamics? And if so\, how might citizen science be reimagined to centre diverse forms of knowledge\, representation\, and community agency?\nCitizen science across borders\nHow can citizen science foster collaboration across different kinds of borders and frontiers — including geopolitical\, disciplinary\, organizational\, or cultural? What role can it play in connecting diverse knowledge systems and enabling inclusive\, equitable\, and cooperative approaches to research\, learning\, and action?\nCitizen science in extreme conditions and situations of crisis\nHow can citizen science be mobilised in challenging or high-risk contexts — from remote environments and polar regions to situations of conflict\, environmental disaster\, or public health emergencies\, which might be familiar to practitioners but in which academic researchers may hesitate to tread? What strategies support safe and effective participation\, resilient data collection\, and sustained knowledge co-production when institutional\, logistical\, or technological infrastructures are disrupted?\nCitizen science and Indigenous knowledges and practices\nHow can citizen science contribute to the respectful co-creation of knowledge with Indigenous communities? How can projects be designed in ways that are ethical\, collaborative\, and supportive of Indigenous perspectives\, values\, and knowledge systems — while safeguarding sovereignty and cultural integrity?\nOther compelling dimensions of citizen science\nWhat other emerging\, overlooked\, or unconventional dimensions of citizen science deserve greater attention? We welcome contributions that challenge current assumptions\, explore new scientific\, methodological\, or societal frontiers\, or reimagine how citizen science can engage with communities\, technologies\, and institutions.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Barcelona Declaration: Why Open Research Information Matters
DESCRIPTION: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 und weiteren forschungsrelevanten Informationen. \nOrganisiert vom Cluster Forschung+Daten beleuchtet dieses Webinar die konkreten Auswirkungen einer solchen Wende auf die österreichische Community. Wir gehen mit einem hochkarätigen internationalen Panel der Frage nach\, wie der Weg zu offenen Forschungsinformationen in der Praxis aussehen kann. Konkret sollen dabei folgende Fragen beantwortet werden: \n\nImplementierung: Was bedeutet es konkret für eine Forschungsstätte\, wenn sie die Barcelona Declaration unterzeichnen will? Welche Prozesse müssen angestoßen werden?\nBenefit: Welchen unmittelbaren strategischen und operativen Nutzen (z. B. Datenhoheit\, Sichtbarkeit) bringt die Unterzeichnung der Institution?\nWer nutzt offene Forschungsinformationen bereits und falls ja\, wie? Wie können wir als Community diese Infrastrukturen nachhaltig unterstützen?

SUMMARY:Wie sollte eine faire Finanzierung von Open Access aussehen?
DESCRIPTION: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 einem Wechsel zu nicht gewinnorientierten Publikationsmodellen gestärkt\, siehe UNESCO Diamond Open Access Alliance\, 2024. \nImmer stärker etablieren sich Forderungen\, Diamond Open Access (DOA) Publikationsmodelle im Bereich des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens zu finanzieren\, um das aktuelle System zu transformieren und die Abhängigkeit der Wissenschaft vom kommerziellen Verlagswesen zu verringern. Die ab 2025 von der DFG geförderte Servicestelle Diamond Open Access (SeDOA) unterstützt diesen Ansatz. Zudem betont die Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina die Skalierbarkeit von nicht gewinnorientierten OA-Publikationsmodellen als entscheidender Faktor für eine erfolgreiche Transformation\, da Wissenschaftseinrichtungen mit wenigen Medienkonzernen auf dem Publikationsmarkt konkurrieren (Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina 2025\, 34). Entsprechende Finanzierungsstrukturen können die Implementierung offener Infrastrukturen und damit die gesamte Open-Research-Transformation positiv beeinflussen. \nFür den Forschungsraum Berlin-Brandenburg ist das faire und nachhaltige Finanzieren von  Open Access ein drängendes Thema (Neufend et al. 2024)\, das aufgrund der Unsicherheiten in der Finanzierung von Wissenschafts- und Kulturerbe-Einrichtungen alle Einrichtungstypen unterschiedlich betrifft. In dieser Veranstaltung möchten wir mit Akteur*innen ins Gespräch kommen\, die bereits eine nachhaltige\, faire und kollektive Finanzierung von Open Access unterstützen und ermöglichen. \nAuf dem virtuellen Podium möchten wir entlang folgender Fragen diskutieren: \n\nIst das nicht gewinnorientierte Publizieren kostengünstiger als kommerzielle APC- und BPC-Modelle?\nWelches Verständnis von Fairness ist maßgeblich für faires OA?\nWas ist der Wert und was sind die Kosten des nicht gewinnorientierten Publizierens und wie können entsprechende Ressourcen bereitgestellt werden?\nWie können einzelne Akteure im Forschungsökosystem nicht gewinnorientiertes Publizieren unterstützen?\nWas sind notwendige Finanzierungsstrukturen\, die nicht gewinnorientiertes Publizieren nach fairen Prinzipien ermöglichen?\nWas lässt sich aus einer kritischen Reflektion bisheriger großangelegter Transformationsverträge und den daraus entstandenen Kriterien lernen?\nWas sind die Alternativen zu solchen großangelegten\, kommerziellen Ansätzen im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren?

SUMMARY:RDA 26th Plenary Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The RDA has been working since 2013 to create solutions to allow researchers to openly share and re-use data across technologies\, disciplines\, and countries. The RDA 26th Plenary Meeting will take place fully virtually under the theme ‘Data Continuity for Research Resilience’\, from 16-20 March 2026. \n\n\nData continuity is essential for research resilience. As the research and scientific landscape faces institutional changes\, technological transitions\, and global disruptions\, VP26 brings together the RDA community to address critical challenges in maintaining access to research data. Through collaborative sessions\, RDA groups and individual members will explore strategies for building robust data infrastructures\, preserving research outputs\, and ensuring data remains accessible regardless of the challenges. \n\n\nJoin us as the global RDA community comes together to explore data continuity strategies that strengthen research resilience in times of change\, crisis\, and transformation. \n\n\nFor who?: \n\n\n\nData scientists\nData professionals\nResearchers\nIndustry leaders\nEntrepreneurs\nPolicy makers\nData stewards\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Open\n\nJoin the global RDA community in March 2026 to take part in shaping the future of data. Registration fees remain unchanged from VP24 (held in April 2025) to allow the participation of as many RDA members as possible. \n\nREGISTER NOW
