Practices of Open Research for PhD students - online

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Participation

Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance.

Please note that all those interested in workshops in the area of Research Integrity / Good Scientific Practice will first be placed on a waiting list. We will then inform you promptly whether workshop places are available.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.

Objectives

In this online class, we deliver compact insights into the current developments in open research/open science, talk about concrete practices and present services for support and consulting.

Content

Open Research / Open Science means opening up various elements of the research process without legal, technical or financial obstacles. This includes, for example, the publication of research results in the sense of Open Access and the freely accessible publication of research data. But it also includes making research software, lab books, review processes or teaching and learning materials available. In addition, concepts such as citizen science and science communication are close to the principle of open science.

In this compact introductory session, we present the key concepts and contexts of Open Science and highlight opportunities to expand knowledge and skills, and answer your questions about the topic.

• What does Open Research / Open Science mean and how can you implement it during your PhD?
• What Open Research / Open Science initiatives and services are available at Freie Universität?
• What guidelines on Open Research / Open Science exist in Berlin, nationally, and from important (international) funding organizations?
• What other service is there to promote Open Research / Open Science?

Further Information

Postdocs are welcome to participate if spots are available.
