This year's annual Open Science Ambassadors Meeting took place at the Harnack House in Berlin from November 6-7, 2024, bringing together experts and enthusiasts from the scientific community to discuss the latest developments and best practices in Open Science.
The two-day meeting focused on several key topics, including the increasing importance of digitality in science, the current status of Open Science in the Max Planck Society, and the challenges and opportunities of implementing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) research data management.
The meeting featured a range of workshops and talks, including a session on "Research Software Engineering for Reproducible High Performance Scientific Computing," which included a lively discussion on questions and challenges regarding reproducible research software engineering.
The Open Science Ambassadors (OSA) also presented a talk on "Open Science in the Max Planck Society," highlighting the Society's commitment to Open Science and our efforts to promote a culture of openness and collaboration among the researchers.
In a unique and collaborative effort, the OSA organized a workshop on "Speed Drafting of Policy Language," where participants worked together to draft policy language on Open Science. This hands-on approach allowed participants to engage with the policy-making process and to contribute their expertise and insights to the development of Open Science policies.
The Open Science Ambassadors Meeting was a valuable opportunity for MPG scientists and staff to come together and discuss the latest developments and best practices in Open Science. The meeting highlighted the importance of collaboration, innovation, and openness in advancing scientific research and promoting a more inclusive and equitable scientific community.
Join us for an online follow-up meeting on February 12, from 3-5 PM, as our community reconvenes. The Open Science Ambassadors will present their achievements and future plans at their respective institutes. It is also a chance for everyone to join who could not attend the Berlin event in November. We warmly welcome all contributions and are eager to learn about the latest Open Science developments at the MPIs.
