The first German Open Science Festival took place in Hannover August 30-31! #OSF2022DE

Many thanks to all participants, speakers, workshop leaders and helpers who made it possible for the first "Open Science Festival" to take place in Germany!

The 150 participants on site and up to 55 viewers in the livestream showed us how much interest there is in an exchange on Open Science.

The recordings of the keynote and the panels "Open Science- just science done right" and "Who owns Science?" can be found on the AV-Portal of TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology.

Additional materials are published on Zenodo.

Keynote: Transition to Open Science - Reform of Recognition and Rewards

Frank Miedema is Vice Rector for Research at Utrecht University and chair of the Utrecht University Open Science Program. He is one of the initiators in 2013 of Science in Transition who believe that the academic incentive and reward system is in need of fundamental reform. Next to Science for Science (articles in ‘high-impact’ journals), the impact on society must be valued more and societal stakeholders should be involved more integrally in the production of knowledge.

His new book titled ‘Open Science, the very idea’, that describes recent developments in science from a historical, sociological, philosophical perspective and from a personal perspective was recently published (Open Access) by Springer Nature.

Panel: Open Science- just science done right

How can Open Science support scientific integrity? How does the present system of research evaluation slow down the implementation of open science practices?
