First German Open Science Festival in Hannover on 30 and 31 August 2022

Keynote speaker will be Prof. Sarah de Rijke from the Centre for Science & Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University. She has published widely on quality control mechanisms and knowledge production and is an author on UNESCO’s current recommendations on Open Science.

Prof. Sarah de Rijke will also participate in the panel discussion “Open Science – just science done right”, where she will talk with Prof. Frank Miedema von der Universität Utrecht and Prof. Dr. Stefanie Büchner (Tenure Track Professor at LUH and member of the Junge Akademie) as well as Dr. Rainer Lange from the German Council of Science and Humanities about how scientific integrity can be promoted through Open Science practices and how credit systems in science are at conflict with the implementation of Open Science practices. In another panel discussion international experts will discuss the extent to which data streams in science – and thus also in open science – are commercialised. Panelists are Prof. Sarah Lamdan (CUNY School of Law, New York) and Prof. Arianna Becerril-García (Chair of Ameli, Open Knowledge for Latin America and the Global South (AmeliCA), founder of Redalyc.org, and Professor at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico). Felix Reda (Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte e. V.) is invited. Both panel discussions are in English and will be recorded.

A marketplace will provide information on which initiatives and services already exist at Leibniz Universität and TIB and how you can set up a network yourself.
