1. News from the Open Science Center

Election of the new scientific board (2023-2025)

It is our pleasure to present the members who will serve on the OSC Board for the next two years:

  *   Prof Niels Dingemanse (Evolutionary Biology)
  *   Dr Sabine Hoffmann (Medical Information Processing, Biometry, and Epidemiology)
  *   Prof Ralf Ludwig (Geography)
  *   Prof Nikolaus Plesnila (Neuroscience)
  *   Prof Alexander Wuttke (Politics)

We are deeply grateful to Prof Katrin Auspurg and Prof Ralf Elsas who stepped down after serving on the board since 2017.

Katrin was the OSC speaker for two terms and the co-speaker for an additional term. Under her term as speaker, the OSC grew from an informal startup to a center and we managed to acquire the Pioneer Fund from the Excellence initiative that is currently funding our coordinator position. Thank you, Katrin, for your continuous and long-time contributions!

Open Science Summer School 11.-15.09.2023

We received 95 applications and selected 40 to attend our Summer School in September. It is no longer possible to apply to attend the workshops. Thank you for your interest!

It is still possible to register to attend the public lectures online<https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/lectures/>. Check out our exciting line-up<https://malikaihle.github.io/OSC-Open-Research-Summer-School-2023/Programme.html> and don't miss the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about various open science topics!

The Faculty of Business Administration and the Faculty of Biology are new funding members

We are delighted to welcome the Faculty of Biology and the Faculty of Business Administration as our new institutional funding members in addition to the Department of Psychology. We value their support immensely.

Members from these units will be given priority in our events with limited seats and our consultation services.

Grant proposal submissions

We have recently applied to the following three grants:

We applied for 500K from the Volkswagen Foundation 'Pioneer Projects - Impulse in the German Research System'  to cover two positions for 2024-2026. We will receive an answer in December.

We proposed two grassroots programmes: a "switch-to-open" programme, where an open research consultant would help individual research groups transition as teams from closed to an optimised open workflow; and a "train-the-trainer" programme, which would empower participants to become instructors of open research practices within their disciplines.

We also applied for 150K from Freiraum 2023 to cover the coordinator's position for 2025. We will get an answer in October.

This fund would be used to create a collection of training material (e.g., self-paced tutorials on computing skills) that can be facilitated synchronously or followed asynchronously, and whose content can be improved by the community through 'pull requests'.

We also applied with a similar project to the LMU Zentrale Studienzuschüsse 2023.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us!

Carpentries Membership to start in November

The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/> is a programm focusing on teaching foundational coding and data science skills to reasearchers. With funding and coordination from the MCML,<https://mcml.ai/> the OSC is establishing a membership with the Carpentries in order to train 15 instructors, and organise, subsequently, many workshops.

Keep an eye out for our application call in November to become a certified instructor!

CERN-NASA Open Science Summit 10.-14.07.2023

Our coordinator Malika was invited to attend a one week summit to discuss amongst worldwide policy makers and other stakeholders to define possible open science policy and strategic implementation plans at national and institutional levels. The co-creation of resources and the establishement of a strong network during this event will certainly prove useful to coordinate efforts!
