From September 9 to 13, 2024, the joint Open Science Summer School of the LMU Open Science Center and the Max Planck Digital Library took place in Munich.
The five-day event, which was aimed in particular at researchers at the beginning of their scientific careers, focused on the transparency, reproducibility and credibility of research.
In his lecture “Science as amateur software development”, Professor Richard McElreath from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology gave participants tips on how to incorporate insights from software development into their research work. In his sessions on the “reproducibility crisis” and “data sharing”, Professor Felix Schönbrodt from the LMU Open Science Center called for more transparency and openness during the research process. The motto was: “as open as possible, and as closed as necessary”.
One of the highlights of the Summer School was the panel discussion titled “Open Science incentives and institutional change”, which focused on how to create incentives to further integrate open science methods into the scientific community.
More than 100 young scientists had registered for the coveted places, 40 were selected and were able to participate – 20 in person and 20 online. Numerous lectures were open to the public online, with more than 450 participants from around the world registered to view them.
Materials from the Summer School, including recordings of the lectures, presentations and workshop documents.
