Call for Speakers and Poster Presentations

Open Science Conference 2021 (17-19 February 2021, online conference) 
https://www.open-science-conference.eu/calls2021/      
  
Please note: The Open Science Conference 2021 will be held entirely online and 
has been extended to three days due to the digital format.

The Open Science Conference 2021 is the 8th international conference of the 
Leibniz Research Alliance Open Science. The annual conference is dedicated to 
the Open Science movement and provides a unique forum for researchers, 
librarians, practitioners, infrastructure providers, policy makers, and other 
important stakeholders to discuss the latest and future developments in Open 
Science.

This year's conference will especially focus on the effects and impact of 
(global) crises and associated societal challenges, such as the Corona pandemic 
or the climate change, to open research practices and science communication in 
the context of the digitisation of science. And vice versa, how open practices 
help to cope with crises. Overall, the conference addresses topics around Open 
Science such as:

. Effects and impact of current crises on open research practices and science 
communication 
. Learnings from crises to sustainably ensure the opening of science in the 
future 
. Innovations to support Open Science practices and their application and 
acceptance in scientific communities 
. Scientific benefit of Open Science practices and their impact in society such 
as coping with crises 
. Open Science education and science communication to different target groups 
in the broad public 

This call invites the research community as well as further important 
stakeholders of the Open Science movement to submit an abstract for one of the 
following calls. 

As the Open Science Conference 2021 will be an entirely online event, all 
poster presentations and talks will be given in a digital environment. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact osc2021@xxxxxxxxxxxx. The 
submission system will open soon.

With this call we invite you to apply for a talk at the conference. Talks 
should address Open Science aspects on a broader level and cover topics 
including (but not limited to):

. Reflections on effects and impact of current crises on open research 
practices and science communication 
. Lessons learned from crises and approaches to sustainably ensure the opening 
of science in future 
. Resume on Open Science practices and their application and acceptance in 
scientific communities 
. Overview on existing research on the scientific benefit of Open Science 
practices and their impact in society such as coping with crises 
. Overview on Open Science education and science communication to different 
target groups in the broad public

Please submit your application as PDF including an outline of your talk and the 
benefit for the conference (not more than 500 words) as well as title, CV 
(including talks as invited speaker), affiliation, and contact details. Please

Call for Poster Presentations

We invite you to submit project presentations and other contributions covering 
topics including (but not limited to):

. Empirical studies on the effects and impact of crises on open research 
practices and science communication 
. Recent innovations to support Open Science practices and their application 
and acceptance in scientific communities 
. Empirical studies and use cases about the scientific benefit of Open Science 
practices and their impact in society such as coping with crises 
. Best practices dealing with Open Science education and science communication 
to the broad public

Please submit your abstract as PDF which describes the main idea, the practical 
relevance, and its innovative, scientific, and/or societal impact. The abstract 
may not be longer than 500 words. To enable blind review the abstract must be 
submitted in a fully anonymous format so that the respective PDF (including 
metadata) does not contain any information that might reveal the  author´s 
identity, e.g., author name, project name, links to project websites, own 
publications. Submissions that are not in line with these conditions of 
anonymity will be rejected and excluded from the review. 

All contributing authors should be added in the metadata of the submission 
system. There is a limit of two submissions per corresponding/first author. 

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the programme committee 
and the review board. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present 
a poster at the conference. The poster session will take place in an 
appropriate digital environment. The abstract and poster must be submitted and 
presented in English. 

To also contribute to the Open Science movement, the programme committee will 
publish the scientific justification for acceptance on the conference website. 
All accepted abstracts as well as corresponding posters will be displayed on 
the conference website and also be published on Zenodo. All materials must be 
licensed at least as CC-BY 4.0. 

The submission system will open soon.
