SUMMARY:The 4th United Nations Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference
DESCRIPTION:From 16 to 18 October 2025\, the 4th United Nations Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference will convene policymakers\, IGO representatives\, researchers\, scholars\, librarians\, publishers\, and civil society\, both online and in person at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo\, Japan. \nThe Conference will serve as an urgent call to accelerate transformations in science and scholarship in alignment with the Pact for the Future\, to map progress in national and international efforts towards opening the record of science\, and to inspire collaborative actions and coalitions to expedite progress ensuring no country\, community\, or individual is left behind. \nIn September 2024\, at the Summit of the Future\, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the action-oriented Pact for the Future. The Pact underscores that science is instrumental for the three pillars of the United Nations – sustainable development\, peace and security\, and human rights. Recognizing the potential for science to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, the Pact supports policies toward open science and open innovation to help bridge science gaps especially in developing countries. \nDespite these significant commitments\, billions of people – especially in developing countries – still lack meaningful access to participate in and benefit from critical scientific knowledge\, research infrastructure\, and emerging technologies. Open science and open scholarship provide a transformative pathway to reverse these trends\, fostering multilateral cooperation\, responsible innovation\, and the equitable dissemination of knowledge. As stated in the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science\, we must ensure “reciprocal access to science for all producers and consumers of knowledge regardless of their location\, nationality\, race\, age\, gender\, income\, socio-economic circumstance\, career stage\, discipline\, language\, religion\, disability\, ethnicity\, migratory status or any other grounds”. More:

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.
