Description

The Barcamp Open Science is a barcamp dedicated to the Open Science movement. It is open to everybody interested in connecting with like-minded people embracing Open Science, unlocking new perspectives and networking on Open Science, and thriving Open Science together!

We invite researchers and practitioners from various backgrounds, experts and novices, those who investigate Open Science, and those who want to practice it. The barcamp’s open format allows lively discussions, learning about and sharing experiences on practices in Open Science, and much time networking with the community. Specific knowledge on Open Science is not needed, participants are invited to bring in their topics.

The Barcamp Open Science is organised by members of the Leibniz Strategy Forum Open Science, Wikimedia Germany and further volunteers.

"On the Value of Being Unorthodox: Resilience in a Time of Hostility against Arts and Sciences"

"As researchers, we often say, 'we need the data.' Today, the data needs us." – Kathy Reid

There is historical precedent for the destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage not conforming to particular agendas. We are currently in the midst of another such attempt. Today, we see the veneer of business as usual juxtaposed with frantic upheaval in institutions we trust. In response, when fundamental rules of trust have been broken, individual people have had to take things into their own hands.

Many different approaches have sprung up, with varying levels of coordination, all under one goal: Together, we are ensuring that our cultural, intellectual, and scientific heritage is safeguarded. Because people (and our diversity) matter. In the midst of a never-ending assault on institutions dedicated to knowledge and the pursuit of truth, there are examples of defiance: As a community, we are not powerless.
