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.

SUMMARY:Sprache / Macht / Daten
DESCRIPTION:Wie sprechen wir über unsere Welt? Und wer legt die Begriffe\, Bedeutungen und Beziehungen fest? Mit der steigenden Menge an Daten und den technologischen Möglichkeiten\, diese zu verknüpfen\, verschieben sich auch Machtgefüge – mit teils massiven Folgen. Denn wer Daten sammelt\, speichert und modelliert\, beeinflusst\, wie Wissen entsteht und welche Perspektiven und Erzählungen (un)sichtbar werden. \nUm das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Sprache\, Macht und Daten im digitalen Kulturerbe gemeinsam zu beleuchten\, lädt das Bundesministerium für Kunst und Kultur (BMWKMS) mit dem Kulturpool\, der Österreichischen Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (FFG)\, der Topothek und dem kärnten.museum zum Stakeholder Forum 2026\, am 5.-6. Mai 2026 in Klagenfurt ein. \nWie können Museen\, Archive\, Bibliotheken und Akteure wie Kulturpool ihre Verantwortung wahrnehmen? Welche Infrastrukturen und Voraussetzungen sind zur Öffnung und Vernetzung von Sammlungen notwendig? \nUnd was braucht es\, um die nachhaltige Nutzung\, interdisziplinäre Forschung sowie die verantwortungsvolle und innovative Vermittlung von Kulturerbe-Daten zu fördern?

SUMMARY:Webinar: OMERO – A Platform for Image Data Management
DESCRIPTION:The Health Data Research Hub (HDRH) at the Medical University of Graz provides a secure data environment and standardized interfaces that form the foundation for data excellence across the entire research data lifecycle—from study planning and the creation of data management plans to long-term storage and the secure reuse of data in analytical environments. \nThis presentation will focus on OMERO\, an open-source platform developed by the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) for the centralized storage\, management\, visualization\, and analysis of microscopy and bioimaging data\, including associated metadata. Its client–server architecture enables location-independent access via web and desktop clients\, while an access-controlled infrastructure ensures secure data management and distribution. \nBy automatically capturing microscope metadata\, OMERO supports transparent and reproducible research in accordance with the FAIR principles. In addition\, it offers compatibility with numerous bioimaging file formats\, as well as APIs and plugins that enable high interoperability. \nThe presentation will conclude with a short live demonstration of OMERO and selected workflows.

SUMMARY:KU Leuven Open Science Day
DESCRIPTION:Open Science is an integral part of today’s research. It encompasses a wide range of practices and outputs across all stages of the research lifecycle. For instance\, researchers share their publications via repositories\, publish in Open Access journals\, and disseminate early findings through preprints. They make their data FAIR\, preregister their research protocols\, and engage the public through Citizen Science initiatives. \nChallenges include selecting the most appropriate channel for publishing research\, considering the economic implications of this choice\, as well as managing the learning curve and time investment required to implement certain Open Science principles. At the same time\, researchers must navigate various considerations\, including GDPR compliance\, intellectual property rights\, and research security. KU Leuven is committed to Open Science\, guided by the principle: “as open as possible\, as closed as necessary.” \nThe Open Science Day is an opportunity for researchers of the KU Leuven Association to take part in this discussion\, to showcase their own Open Science efforts\, to shed a light on difficulties they might encounter\, to share experiences and solutions.

SUMMARY:10th Open Science Retreat
DESCRIPTION:With the Open Science Retreat (OSR) the ZBW brings together international Open Science supporters from different stakeholder groups. Again\, we are planning two sessions where we will dive deeply into the topics that are of burning interest to us all. \nWe cordially invite you to join our 10thOpen Science Retreat that will be held virtually on 6 & 7 May 2026\, 15:00-17:00 CEST. \nIt is dedicated to the theme “The future of Open Science amid authoritarianism\, geopolitical tensions and aspirations for data sovereignty”. \n  \nFundamental scientific principles and findings are under unprecedented attack: Disinformation and science scepticism has reached new levels\, threatening the very foundations of democracy and science. Autocratic governments are attempting to restrict academic freedom and to use science and research to legitimise their very own political narratives and agendas. At the same time\, geopolitical tensions are deepening\, leading to increased security concerns in science and research\, potentially leading to less openness\, collaboration and communication among researchers around the globe. Last but not least\, these developments are also having a significant impact on the availability of research infrastructures and Open Science materials. Do our societies need more data sovereignty to meet these challenges? \n  \nTo guide our discussions\, we would like to address the following questions: \n\nHow can Open Science – with its emphasis on transparency\, collaboration\, equality of opportunities and reproducibility of scientific results – be sustained in the light of these global developments?\nWhat measures can we\, as an international community of Open Science practitioners\, take to ensure that Open Science is firmly established as the default mode of doing science in an increasingly challenging environment?\nIn particular\, how can we meet the challenges in areas like \n\nendangered data\, surveys and other Open Science materials?\nendangered research infrastructures for science and research?\n\n\nCan greater data sovereignty help us overcome some of the challenges we face in Open Science\, or are there other approaches that might be more promising?\n\n  \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity and apply now for free for this unique networking event: openscienceretreat.zbw.eu\nDeadline for application: 23 April 2026 \nThe Open Science Retreat is an interactive event. Participants are expected to commit to active contribution during the entire retreat. The number of participants is limited (random election\, however\, balanced with regard to geographical distribution and diversity aspects). \n  \nWe are looking forward to an exciting #OpenScienceRetreat – be part of it!

SUMMARY:Open Science for Future Generations: Equity\, Access\, and Local Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library in the Department of Global Communications and UNESCO would like to invite you to: “Open Science for Future Generations: Equity\, Access\, and Local Knowledge\,” scheduled for Thursday\, 7 May\, 2026\, 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. (ET).  This virtual panel discussion is a side event to the 11th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science\, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals. \n  \nRegister Now \n  \nOpen science is a cornerstone of the Pact for the Future and essential for advancing an inclusive and equity-based knowledge ecosystem. Despite growing global commitment to openness\, significant structural inequities persist within the scholarly publishing and research infrastructure. These barriers disproportionately affect youth and researchers in the early stages of their careers. Limited access to publishing opportunities\, research infrastructure\, and global networks can constrain their ability to contribute to and benefit from the global knowledge commons.   \n  \nBuilding on the outcomes of the 4th UN Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference\, this panel will explore how open science policies and infrastructures can reduce systemic inequities and empower early-career researchers as knowledge producers and full participants in the scientific enterprise. Speakers will discuss strategies to incentivize participation with a focus on the challenges of brain drain and the importance of conducting research locally\, adapting global goals to the specific context\, needs\, and priorities of local communities.   \n  \nSpeakers include: \nBatool Almarzouq\, UKRI Metascience Research Fellow \nLuisa Fernanda Echeverría King\, Simón Bolívar University (Colombia) \nMadiareni Sulaiman\, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN Indonesia) \nRania Sabo\, UNESCO  \n  \nModerator: Dag Hammarskjöld Library \n  \nParticipation in UN events is governed by the UN Code of Conduct. By registering for the event\, you agree to adhere to this policy. \n  \nWe look forward to your participation! \n  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Are We Measuring Open Science the Right Way?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how Open Science indicators can be used responsibly to support evidence-based policy\, monitoring\, and research assessment reform. As indicators increasingly shape how progress in Open Science is measured and communicated\, they also influence incentives across the research system. \nThe session brings together European initiatives working on Open Science monitoring\, responsible metrics\, and impact assessment to reflect on the opportunities\, risks\, and guiding principles for the use of indicators in policy and practice. \nThe discussion aims to recognise that indicators do more than describe reality – they can shape incentives\, influence behaviour\, and affect policy and funding decisions. The session will create a space for dialogue between monitoring initiatives\, research assessment reform efforts\, and policy actors working to ensure the responsible use of indicators in the European research landscape. \nTARGET AUDIENCE \n\nPolicy makers and national ministries\nResearch funders and funding agencies\nEOSC governance actors and Steering Board members\nOpen science initiative leads at national and European level\nResearch assessment reform communities (e.g. CoARA members)\nMonitoring and evaluation experts in the European research landscape
