Beide Gesellschaften schreiben dazu: „Wir teilen und fördern die Prinzipien von #OpenScience, Open Education und #OpenSource für die Hochschulbildung und wollen sie auch praktisch umsetzen. .... Darüber hinaus setzen wir uns damit für Konzepte wie digitale Souveränität und gemeinschaftlich organisierte Dienste im Sinne einer Kultur der Digitalität ein. Die Bereitstellung solcher Dienste im Fediverse (wie #Mastodon) ermöglicht uns als wissenschaftliche Fachgesellschaften, Gestaltungshoheit zu wahren und unabhängige, #datenschutzfreundliche Infrastrukturen zu fördern.“ #unisinsfediverse
we had a great time with a record amount of sprinters, open space attendees AND i gave my first talk! I can't wait for next year! #python#openscience#opensource
🌟 Reminder to all #OpenScience enthusiasts! 🌟
Want to publish your work openly and freely?
Simply put your preprint online and submit it for open peer-review on our platform!
Early career researchers want Open Science, Farnham et al (2024) :
"Open #Science is encouraged by the European Union and many other political and scientific institutions. However, scientific practice is proving slow to change. We propose, as early career researchers, that it is our task to change scientific #research into open scientific research and commit to #OpenScience principles."
Office of the National Cyber Director told RSA Conference attendees the White House is developing legal clauses that shift software liability away from customers and more onto manufacturers.
"Another proposal on the table would be SHARED LIABILITY BETWEEN OPEN-SOURCE MAINTAINERS AND FOR-PROFIT FIRMS who integrate those open tools into their products, he added."
Hey #OpenScience advocates! Ever had the feeling that you wanted to download all of your open science / research software #RSE#RSEng thoughts into a collaborator/grad student's brain, but your regular coffee catchups aren't cutting it??? Just point them to this new #SummerSchool from the awesome @madicken!
In its justification, it commits itself to the principles of the #Fediverse and #OpenScience:
"Freie Universität Berlin has been present on Mastodon since December 2022. #Mastodon is part of the decentralized Fediverse network. Compared to large commercial social networks, Mastodon relies on chronological feeds and reduces the algorithmic sorting of posts. This ensures that information is always openly available and reduces the likelihood of so-called filter bubbles forming."
This July, my alma mater, Univ of Illinois, is hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering
The workshop focuses on helping early-career researchers (e.g, grad students, post-docs) level up from capable programmers to rock stars of accessible, open science
Best of all it's being organized by the brilliant Madicken Munk!
Oh, did I mention... it's free!
Application deadline is June 6th. Spread the word!
the #SbD4Nano project is really ending soon now. We're working out the final details, writing the final deliverables. It's been fun doing the #openscience but it has also been a challenge finding enough #FAIR and open data to feed into our knowledge base to support the safe-by-design for nanomaterials.
The three papers this month tell that story: the hard work, the solutions that only lead to more closed data, and the needs for more FAIR
Happy PyCon sprint day to all who celebrate! Come join pyOpenSci to:
📚 contribute to our guidebook
🚗 test drive a tutorial
🛠️ help with technical CI (and other challenges)
🔍 even get in there and typo-hunt!
We have ways for everyone of all skill levels to contribute! Plus you'll get to hang out with our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser (ask her about Juno - trust us!)
#Korea’s participation in global R&D through #HorizonEurope since 2025 can lead to the acceleration of domestic #OpenScience policies and developments in line with global trends.
Some very bad things happened at the Faculty of Archaeology at @universiteitleiden.
The good thing is that the Executive Board of the university decided to be as transparent as possible about this situation. They published the (anonymized) report of the investigating committee, so that everyone in the academic community in Leiden can draw lessons from this situation. Great decision!
