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:PATTERNs of Change: Building an Open and Responsible Future for European Research
DESCRIPTION:The PATTERN project is happy to invite you to attend its final event: PATTERNs of Change: Building an Open and Responsible Future for European Research. \nJoin policymakers\, research organisations\, SMEs and EU-funded projects to reflect on how we can scale up open and responsible research and innovation (Open RRI) across Europe and to share what actually works (and what doesn’t) in real-life implementation. \nThe programme\nMorning: Policy-oriented sessions (09:00–13:00) \nA high-level roundtable and a practical outreach workshop focused on aligning researchers’ needs with EU-driven policies and strengthening Open RRI practices. \nAfternoon: Story Slam Session with Sister Projects (14:30–15:30) \nA short\, fun and refreshingly honest format: projects share an “unsuccessful” story (something that didn’t go to plan\, a failed approach\, a lesson learned)  and the presentation must include a MEME. \nAfternoon: Walkthrough poster session and networking (15:30–16:30) \nA dedicated space to showcase posters and dissemination materials\, walk around\, connect and exchange ideas. Feel free to bring posters\, roll-ups\, flyers\, postcards\, or any other comms materials you’d like to share. \nLearn more and register here!

SUMMARY:Teaching Reproducibility for Professional Development and Intellectual Growth
DESCRIPTION:We would like to cordially invite you to another Open Science Education Coffee Lecture. This time\, the focus will be on how reproducibility can be taught in economics and what significance it holds for research\, professional qualifications and career development. \nTeaching Reproducibility for Professional Development and Intellectual Growth \n23 April 2026 | 15:00 – 16:00 CEST \nOnline | in English \nOrganised by: ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics \n  \nReproducibility has long been more than just a methodological detail. It plays an increasingly important role in the quality of academic work and in how research is taught and learned today. But how can this topic be effectively conveyed in teaching? \nIn this Open Science Education Coffee Lecture\, Richard Ball\, Professor of Economics at Haverford College (USA)\, will provide insights into the work of Project TIER\, which he has helped shape for many years. As a member of the Executive Committee\, he is one of the individuals who help shape the project’s content and strategy. His talk is therefore not only an introduction to the approaches of Project TIER\, but also an opportunity to explore the development of reproducible research from a perspective that closely integrates teaching and research. \nRichard Ball will demonstrate how transparency and reproducibility have been systematically integrated into the teaching of quantitative methods in the economic and social sciences since 2013. This involves specific teaching approaches\, methodological and professional skills\, and the question of how the standards of scientific research have changed in recent years – for example\, through data and code policies and the establishment of replication archives.

SUMMARY:FOR2026 Conference: The Future of Open Research: Reliable\, Responsible\, Equitable
DESCRIPTION: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 research measures need to be tailored to diverse research conditions around the globe and across domains\, which in turn requires substantial investment\, local engagement\, responsiveness to the ethical and social dimensions of inquiry\, and attention to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. \nWhile the implementation of open science principles is certainly facilitated by ever more accessible digital technologies and training programmes\, for many researchers around the world\, acquiring the expertise and skills to engage in open research practices remains elusive. Exposure to open research initiatives often happens as an end-user rather than as an active contributor. This is because well-resourced environments produce the tools\, set the research goals\, define the standards and methods\, which leads to them benefiting disproportionally from the opportunities. This makes even the best-intentioned projects into opportunities for the best-resourced environments (which are often in charge of producing open science tools) to impose their own understanding of research goals\, standards\, and methods on everybody else. Therefore\, without domain- and location-specific input\, the risk is that open research amplifies existing inequities and discrimination in the production\, use\, and evaluation of knowledge\, thereby inflicting damage to the research system instead of the promised improvements. And this is not to mention the ongoing debates over how politically unpalatable open science may be\, the extent to which open research has been appropriated by commercial entities such as large publishing companies and digital platforms\, the fraught intersection between open science and artificial intelligence\, and the ongoing difficulties in supporting and maintaining open research activities and tools in the long term. \nThis conference brings together scholars\, activists\, and policymakers to consider this challenging landscape and discuss the future of open research. Our goal is to facilitate the development of open research practices explicitly geared to serve the public interest\, which involves interrogating what may constitute that ‘public interest’ to different audiences and in different locations around the world. A central element for our discussions will be the development of a Munich Manifesto for Equitable Open Research\, detailing ways to utilise open research to foster reliable\, responsible\, and equitable forms of inquiry. A draft text of the manifesto will be circulated two weeks before the conference to all participants\, and one session of the conference will be dedicated to discussing and finalising the declaration and its possible signatories. \nWe call for contributions by researchers across all fields of knowledge\, including the arts and humanities\, policy-makers interested in research and development\, representatives of scholarly and commercial institutions involved in research\, and civil society associations engaged in knowledge production.
