SUMMARY:Call for papers - Special Issue of HEP on Open Science
DESCRIPTION:Disputed openness: universities\, epistemic inequality and market forces in open science in the era of artificial intelligence\n\nThis Higher Education Policy (HEP) special issue invites scholarly contributions that critically examine the promises and contradictions of open science. ‘Contributions should critically engage with the ways in which financial interests\, policy frameworks\, geopolitical asymmetries\, and disciplinary hierarchies shape current models of openness. We are particularly interested in analyses of the policy and governance dimensions that influence how universities interpret and implement open science agendas. This includes examining institutional\, regulatory or structural constraints preventing higher education institutions from engaging openly with societal stakeholders or fostering dialogue with alternative knowledge systems\, particularly when such engagement challenges dominant epistemologies\, disciplinary boundaries or funding models. \nThe full Call for Papers can be accessed here: https://www.iau-aiu.net/IMG/pdf/special_issue_proposal_11_july_2025_.pdf \nTimeline:\nDeadline for submission of abstracts: 20 October 2025\nNotification of abstract acceptance: 5 December 2025\nFull manuscripts due: 30 June 2026\nFirst peer review period: July-September 2026\nRevised papers due: 1 December 2026\nSecond peer review period: December 2026 – January 2027\nExpected publication date: April-May 2027 \nFor any questions\, please contact: \nCarolina Guzmán-Valenzuela: carolina.guzman@uab.cat or Trine Jensen: t.jensen@iau-aiu.net

SUMMARY:AI & Data Governance
DESCRIPTION:Program \n\n\n\nOverview \nThis workshop explores how ethical reflection\, legal regulation\, and responsible data use intersect in research practice in the age of AI and large language models (LLMs). \nParticipants will explore how principles such as ethics\, democracy\, and scientific integrity translate into concrete research practices with AI and data\, addressing issues like bias\, transparency\, and the responsibilities of universities and researchers. They will also discuss regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act and the Data Governance Act\, examining their implications for everyday research practices\, data access\, institutional compliance\, and scientific accountability.. \nA key theme is data governance: understanding data as both a research resource and a matter of power\, access\, and control. Participants will consider how data infrastructures shape knowledge and how ethical and legal principles can ensure fairness and trust in research. \nGuided by the idea of digital humanism and through interactive discussions\, participants will engage with real-world scenarios\, such as handling training data\, ensuring fairness in automated systems\, and aligning institutional practices with evolving EU regulations. \nWho is the trainer? \nMatthias C. Kettemann is Professor of Innovation\, Theory and Philosophy of Law and head of the Department for Theory and Future of Law at the University of Innsbruck. He leads the University’s Quantum Ethics Lab and heads research programmes at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin and Leibniz Institute for Media Research in Hamburg. \n\n\n\n\n\nGoal \n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will: \n\nUnderstand the ethical and governance frameworks shaping the use of AI and data in research.\nGain insight into European regulatory developments and their relevance for scientific practice.\nReflect on their own role and responsibility as researchers in a datafied ecosystem.\nDevelop a critical understanding of digital humanism as a guiding idea for responsible\, human-centered innovation.\n\nThe workshop encourages researchers to act as ethical stewards of data and AI\, combining legal awareness\, normative reflection\, and scientific responsibility in the pursuit of good science. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrecondition \n\n\n\nWho can join? \nThis Workshop is organized for researchers affiliated with a Ludwig Boltzmann Institute\, a university or research organization in Austria.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: FAIR Digital Objects Forum
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers\, Posters & Lightning Talks\nFAIR Digital Objects (FDO) are autonomous information units that virtually bind all information in a machine-actionable way that is required to make data FAIR\, including various kinds of metadata and globally unique and resolvable persistent identifiers (PIDs). FDOs provide a conceptual and implementation framework to develop scalable cross-disciplinary capabilities\, deal with increasing data volumes and their inherent complexity\, build tools that help increase trust in data\, create mechanisms to efficiently operate in the domain of scientific assertions\, and promote data interoperability. In addition\, FDOs play a foundational role in implementing widely accepted trust frameworks\, which are characterised by the STAP principles (Sovereignty\, Transparency\, Accountability\, Persistence). These principles underpin large-scale data exploration supported by AI. \nAbout the Conference\nFor the third time at this scale\, the FDO2026 Conference (link) will bring together leading experts from science and industry\, technologists\, data stewards/managers\, and policymakers engaged in advancing FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs). The conference will feature a mix of invited presentations\, panels\, posters and demonstrators. It will be associated with a day of tutorials and a newcomer session. The first conference focused on discussing and finalising basic specifications\, while the second conference concentrated on practical implementations of the FDO concept (testbeds\, demonstrators). This third conference will explore the relevance of the FDOs for turning to a global data landscape characterised by the STAP Principles\, tackle the integration of FDOs with data use control technologies (dataspace technologies) and examine the challenges and showcase successful demonstrations of interoperability between different implementations. The conference will take place at the facilities of the Technische Universität Wien. Video interaction options and video recordings of all sessions and the training sessions will be provided. \nExpected Contributions\nFor the conference the organisers are seeking contributions that (1) offer insights into practical developments and real-world functionality of FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs)\, or (2) outline strategic plans for their adoption\,  or (3) demonstrate how FDOs can interoperate and thus contribute to the advancement of global trust frameworks guided by the STAP principles. We invite the submission of extended abstracts consistent with the conference themes and objectives and address FDOs\, in particular: \n\nUse of the FDO concept for structuring the emerging domain of disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge in the research domain.\nImportance of FDOs’ abstraction\, binding and encapsulation properties for data-driven and cross-domain research.\nUse of FDOs in data-driven projects or processes from the perspective of  researchers and/or technologists using different approaches.\nReports on implementations of FDOs and associated components such as PIDs\, PID/FDO Profiles\, PID Kernel Attributes\, Types\, Type Registries\, DOIP\, FDO-compliant repositories\, Signposting\, etc.\nPlans and use of FDOs to implement operations\, workflows\, secure environments and collections.\nApplications of FDOs in research-based education or in specific skills development.\nShowcases where FAIR Implementation and FDO compliance profiles led to a change of practices towards FDO usage or consumption\, particularly across FDO deployments.\nValidation or evaluation of FDOs\, FDO profiles and/or FDO types.\nUse of FDOs to build a cross-disciplinary\, global and distributed testbed.\nImplementing FDOs in the realm of dataspace technology to build bridges.\nFDO interoperability solutions to enable cross-walks.\nFDO in the European Open Science Cloud or any other large funding program..\nExperiences of adopting FDO approaches in infrastructures and pathways to adoption.\nThe potential of FDOs to increase FAIRness and support Open Science.\nThe potential of FDOs to build a global data landscape characterised by the STAP principles.\nOther contributions that focus on the concept\, development\, or application of FDOs.\n\nPlease note: Contributions that address FAIR and the STAP Principles in a general way should be submitted to other conferences. The focus here needs to be on the specific contributions using FDOs. \nSubmission of abstracts for Papers and Lightning Talks\nFor presentations\, please submit extended abstracts of up to two pages (excluding references and diagrams). For posters and lightning talks\, submit extended abstracts of up to one page (excluding references and diagrams). Abstract submissions should clearly indicate: \n(i) how the work relates to the FDO concept \n(ii) whether it is conceptual work\, implementations\, or applications \n(iii) whether the submission is for a presentation\, a poster or a lightning talk.  \nWe will publish the abstracts and the full papers of accepted presentations and lightning talks via the peer-reviewed TIB Open Publishing (OJS) publication option. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. Evaluation criteria include: timeliness and relevance\, substance and soundness\, clarity and potential impact. Prizes will be awarded in the final session to the best three lightning talks (based on content and  presentation) as voted by the conference participants. \nSubmission Process\n\nDeadline for submissions: 26 October 2025\nSubmission Link: tbd (see website: https://fairdo.org/fdo-conference-2026/ )\nNotification of acceptance: 15 December 2025

SUMMARY:Leibniz Open Science Day 2025: “Better Science for Better Policies”
DESCRIPTION:ZBW ─ Leibniz Information Centre for Economics\, DIW Berlin (the German Institute for Economic Research)\, WZB (Berlin Social Science Center)\, and RWI ─ Leibniz Institute for Economic Research are pleased to invite to the Leibniz Open Science Day 2025: Better Science for Better Policies.  \nWith 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. \nReplications 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.

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:Tag der guten Daten
DESCRIPTION:In der International Love Data Week\, in der dieses Jahr die Frage “Where’s the data?” diskutiert werden soll\, gibt es an der Universität Graz eine ganztägige Veranstaltung zu diesem Thema. In der Keynote\, welche die Vortragsreihe am Vormittag (9:00-13:00) eröffnet\, wird Verantwortung\, Wartbarkeit und Langzeitdenken am Beispiel eines DH Urgesteins – der Mittelhochdeutschen Begriffsdatenbank – thematisiert. Dabei stellen die Vortragenden KI-gestützte Arbeitsmethoden vor\, zeigen auf\, dass KI Forschung zwar unterstützen kann\, Forschungspersonal aber nie ersetzen wird und stellen fest\, dass offene\, menschenlesbare Standards wie XML durchaus kein Rückschritt sind\, sondern der Schlüssel für digitale Zukunftsfähigkeit. Die weiteren Vorträge behandeln Lizenzierung in AUSSDA\, den Health Data Research Hub der Meduni Graz\, die Performancetests und Metadaten aus den Digital Skills Austria Studien und ein übertragbares Modell für heterogene (psychologische) Forschungsdaten. \nDieser Teil der Veranstaltung wird auch per Livestream übertragen. \n  \nAm Nachmittag findet ein Workshop mit dem Titel “Forschungsdaten zur Verfügung stellen / Forschungsdaten nachnutzen” statt\, in dem nach einer Reihe von Impulsvorträgen\, in denen Daten aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen charakterisiert werden\, an einer Handreichung für Forschende zu diesem Thema gearbeitet wird. \nDer Workshop findet nur in Präsenz statt und die Teilnehmerzahl ist beschränkt. \n  \nVeranstaltungslink: https://forschungsdatenmanagement.uni-graz.at/de/veranstaltungen/tag-der-guten-daten-2026/ \n  \nAnmeldung:  https://ub.uni-graz.at/de/beratung-kurse/kurse-veranstaltungen/veranstaltungen/tag-der-guten-daten-2026/
