[LMU-OSC News] Stop tracking science

[LMU Open Science Center News]

Dear list,

the major academic publishers have made collection and trading of data about the research interests of individuals, groups and research institutions their new business model. Data about your scientific activities are collected in real time across the research workflow. The publishers take notes and sell the knowledge about you to third parties. This business model is in direct opposition to academic freedom. We have to stand up against these corporations!

Please consider to sign our petition Stop Tracking Science<https://stoptrackingscience.eu>. The website has a lot of background information on the tracking activities.

Best,
Felix

Workshop "Research Data Management & Open Science: Trends, Funding Requirements and Services at LMU"

Dear colleagues,

the LMU Open Science Center, the Unit for Research Funding and the University Library cordially invite you to participate in our online workshop "Research Data Management & Open Science: Trends, Funding Requirements and Services at LMU".

Research data management is becoming increasingly relevant across different scientific disciplines and fields. While more and more researchers actively choose to make their research data open, dedicated strategies for data management are required by funding agencies such as the European Commission, the DFG and BMBF. In the EU's new framework program Horizon Europe, Open Science is mandatory for all projects.
In this interactive workshop, the LMU Open Science Center, the Unit for Research Funding and the University Library join forces to present you with an overview on recent trends, funding requirements and services available at LMU. The workshop will be kicked off with a primer on the current discussions surrounding open data by Felix Schönbrodt, followed by a presentation by the Research Funding Unit on the policies of funders such as the German Research Foundation (DFG), BMBF and the European Commission, with a special focus on presenting data management and open data in the application. It will close with a hands-on presentation of online resources and tools that support researchers from creating data management plans to implementing effective data management workflows for their projects, including possible storage and open access strategies by the LMU University Library.

Speakers:
- Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt, LMU Open Science Center (OSC)
- Dr. Florian Schreck, Dr. Veit Schwab, LMU Unit for Research Funding
- Laura Meier, Dr. Martin Spenger, LMU University Library
