There are just a few days left to apply for the second OSPARK Bootcamp (June/July 2026).

If you are working on an Open Research initiative, service, or infrastructure and want your work to reach the people who need it, this program is designed for you.

Many in our community are doing valuable work that remains under the radar. OSPARK focuses on helping you change that—by building practical skills to communicate your work more effectively and increase its visibility.

What the bootcamp includes:

• A 6-week online course (emails, weekly expert sessions, and a buddy system) starting Jun 10
• A 2-day onsite workshop in Munich, Jul 23-34 (limited travel stipends available), hosted by the LMU Open Science Center
• Hands-on training in sharing your work through social media, podcasting, video, email, and more

The goal is simple: help you ensure your Open Science work is seen, understood, and used.

📅 Application deadline: May 10, 2026
