<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">With the Open Science Retreat (OSR) the ZBW brings together international Open Science supporters from different stakeholder groups. Again, we are planning
two sessions where we will dive deeply into the topics that are of burning interest to us all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We cordially invite you to join our seventh
<b>Open Science Retreat</b> that will be held virtually on <b>10 & 11 September 2024, 13:30-15:30 CET.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It is dedicated to the theme
<b>Reproducible Research and Open Science</b>.<br>
<br>
Reproducing research results is an important activity for academic transparency and quality control, regardless of the outcome. In practice, however, factors such as insufficient availability of data and code as well as inadequate documentation of the methodology
hinder the reproduction of research results. Additionally, reproduction attempts and their results currently play a minor role in scholarly communication. Institutions and practices that foster Open Methodologies, FAIR Data and Open Code can offer solutions
to these challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As we come together for this retreat, we aim to delve deeper into these issues through engaging discussions and collaborative sessions. The OSR will kick
off with insightful keynote statements of distinguished experts dealing with reproducible research – either in their own research or as practitioners, advocates, and policy-makers. The following interactive discussions shall focus on sharing experiences of
best practices and lessons learnt, and on identifying ways to solve the addressed challenges.
<br>
<br>
We look forward to your participation and insights as we collectively explore ways to overcome challenges and harness the opportunities in Reproducible Research and Open Science.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
