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?
