Dear colleagues,

The international Open Science Conference 2025 will be held on October 8-9 in Hamburg. This year’s conference will have a special focus on the intersection between Open Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The rapid integration of AI and corresponding tools into scientific research poses both new challenges but also opportunities for Open Science practices and the generation of valuable research knowledge that contributes to solving social, economic, environmental, and digital challenges. This requires a reflection on how this can be aligned with transparency, accessibility, reproducibility, and reusability as core principles of Open Science to ensure robust and reliable research. 

At this year's Open Science Conference, contributions on the following topics (but not limited to) are welcomed:

• Use of AI in support of Open Science (data analytics, science communication, etc.)
• Leveraging Open Science to enhance the use of AI in research (Open Source LLMs, high-quality data for AI training, trustworthy AI, eXplainable AI etc.)

• Ethics and research integrity in the context of Open Science & AI
• Legal perspective on the integration of Open Science & AI (intellectual property, licences)
• Meta research regarding the convergence of Open Science & AI
• Training and capacity building for effective interplay between Open Science & AI
• Infrastructures and tools supporting the synergy of Open Science & AI

We invite you to submit a contribution for one of the following calls:

• Call for solution sessions
• Call for discussion sessions
• Call for posters / demos

The submission deadline is May 23. 

For more information about each call and how to submit, please visit: https://www.open-science-conference.eu/calls2025

Many greetings from the programme committee

Marie Alavi, Eileen Clancy, Tim Errington, Daniel Mietchen, Jan Rörden, Guido Scherp, Michela Vignoli, Nicolaus Wilder
