1. news from the Open Science Center
|
|
|
|
|
|
We compiled an
impact report from 2017-2023 which we are excited to share with you here:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10285395
It describes all our
activities (training, community building, meta-research, consultations, and liaison with stakeholders), our
incomes and expenditures, and our
future strategies. We believe this report attests of the Center's success!
|
|
Below are some statistics on training offers since May 2022 when the coordinator role started, as well as on community building and meta- research activities since the OSC’s foundation
in 2017.

LMU Central study grant
✓
|
|
|
|
We applied to fund the development of self-paced tutorials on open research that can be facilitated at large scale in a hybrid format or “Open
science Hybrid-Facilitated Self-paced Tutorials (Open-HyFaST)”. As a result we were granted 141.490 € to cover the coordinator’s position in 2025 as well as training development.
🎉

|
|
|
|
|
We applied with the concept of Open science Hybrid-Facilitated Self-paced Tutorials (Open-HyFaST) for 150.330 € which was declined in the second round of application.

|
|
Volkswagen Foundation Pioneer Project 2023
✓
|
|
We applied for the call “Pioneer Projects - Impetus for the German Research System” with a project entitled “From local to systemic
implementation: Embedding open research in institutional practices” composed of two work packages: (i) a “switch-to-open” program, an intervention designed to help individual
research groups transition from closed to open workflows, (ii) a complementary
train-the-trainer program focusing on empowering participants to become instructors of open research practices to increase uptake within their disciplines. We were granted 550.000 € to cover the current
coordinator position for 2026, a second coordinator position from 2024 to 2026, and other project costs.

Carpentry Institutional membership
|
|
|
|
The Carpentries is a program focusing on teaching foundational coding and data science
skills to researchers. With funding from the Munich Center for Machine Learning, the OSC and MCML established a membership with the Carpentries. Twenty-seven researchers from LMU and TUM applied to follow the Carpentries’ train-the-trainer programme, and
15 applicants with great enthusiasm and skills were selected to be trained in 2024. They will deliver workshops open to all before the end of 2025.

Didactics of the hybrid summer school 2023
|
|
|
|
Malika Ihle, our coordinator, provides a glimpse behind the scenes of the LMU Open Research Hybrid Summer School 2023 in an
interview
for the ZWB Open Science Magazine. How was the programme's content decided? What didactic strategies were used to suit the hybrid format? Read our coordinator’s advice for organizers of future such
events:
|
|
|
|
Starting in January, on the last Monday of the month, 16:30-18:00, at Wikipedia Munich, Angertorstraße 3, we will hold
themed social sessions to talk about code, research tools, and open science. If you have a ralted problem: bring it along to work on it and get help or pointers!
