On August 30 and 31 of 2022 the Leibniz University Hannover will host together with the TIB, the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology University Library, an Open Science Festival. During these two days, two panels will feature discussions on the topics “scientific integrity and high-quality research results” and “data tracking in science.”
In addition to the scheduled discussions, scientists will also have the opportunity to learn and apply new Open Science-related methods and tools in over 11 workshops. In addition, scientists can network with each other and exchange information about open science practices in research and about current developments in Germany and Europe.
The festival will take place at the Welfenschloss in Hannover and will start on 08/30-22 at 10:15am. For more detailed information and registration feel free to visit the official website: https://konferenz.uni-hannover.de/event/49/overview
The Thuringian RDM Days are once again just around the corner and are to be held under the motto “Improve the way you work! – Tools for Research Data Management”. During the period from June 20 – June 24, 2022, online events will be offered at the four Thuringian university campuses under the above-mentioned motto to help find the right tools for the job. Among other things, management plan applications and electronic laboratory notebooks will be presented to lead to sustainable and reproducible research data.
The Open Science Conference will be held online between the 8 and 10 of March.
The annual conference is dedicated to the Open Science movement and provides a unique forum for researchers, librarians, infrastructure providers, policy makers, and other stakeholders to discuss the latest and future developments in Open Science.
This year’s conference offers many interesting talks including a report on the new copyright exception for text and data mining for scientific purposes, and a report on a survey on researchers’ attitudes for sharing code.
A list of all other contributions and the link to the registration can be found in the conference website.
Throughout 2022, we will be offering introductory talks to inform you about everything you should know about Open Science. During these talks we will shortly report on the activities of the University and State Library around the topic and give some advice and practical tips to implement open science in your daily work. We look forward to your participation.
Attention: These events will be held in German, but if you have specific questions in english please let our speakers know.

The European University Association has published the results of its Open Science Survey. The results show that a lot of work has been done in terms of institutional policy development, Open Access monitoring and infrastructural development. However, there is a lot of work to be done in a number of specific fronts such as the embedding of Open Science in institutional policies and practices, the adequate rewarding of Open Science efforts and initiatives, and the creation of adequate conditions which lead to a better Open Science culture within the consulted institutions.

The Open Science Webinar series is aimed at PhD students and Postdocs from different backgrounds and disciplines at research institutions in Halle. Its purpose is to provide the audience with useful information about various aspects of Open Science (OS). In four webinars, a variety of OS topics including research data management, tools, standards, data protection, legal and intellectual property rights, tips for online publishing etc. will be covered. In a fifth seminar, a guest scientist will present practical and specific details about working with and the implementation of open science. It is hoped, this mixture between theory and a user case example might help the audience to better understand open science and where and how to start practicing it.
Format
The MLU conference system mluconf will be used to deliver the webinars. There is no need to register; participants just need to join the webinar(s) on the day.
The duration of the webinars is one hour, divided into a 40-45 min. presentation element and 15-20 min. slot for questions/discussion. The presentations will be available for consultation at a latter point via the Open Science website of the ULB.
