ScienceOpen has teamed up with OpenAIRE and Digital Science, alongside two of their portfolio companies, Figshare and Overleaf, to organise an OpenCon ‘satellite’ event to be held in Berlin on the 24-26th November.

OpenCon is the student and early career academic professional conference that focuses on Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data. It seeks to empower the next generation to advance openness in research and education.This event will form one of the many international satellite events of the bigger OpenCon 2016 conference that will take place two weeks earlier in Washington, DC.

OpenCon satellite events are organised by those who are passionate about communicating the important messages of Open Information with the world, and are welcome to anyone interested in joining the conversation and connecting with a community of like-minded individuals.

Our keynote speaker will be Julia Reda MEP – a woman on a mission to reform copyright legislation. Alongside presentations and interesting talks made by those who have benefited and gained from open information, we’ll run focused workshops on themes you’ll choose via crowdsourcing. During the event, we will run a few short and themed focus group sessions; in each session we hope to start a conversation where people share advice and success stories about the industry. Discussions and resources will be collated via open documents like etherpads and collected as outputs of the event.

We’re all in the business of collaboration and we hope the event will inspire those who attend to do just that!

When: 24th to 26th of November 2016.

Where: Humboldt University Berlin.

What: The event will focus on putting Open Science into action through open collaboration. On Thursday evening (24th) we will be hosting a hackathon to get people in the mood and have a chance to get settled before the main event!

Registration: OpenCon Berlin 2016 is free to attend, but you must RSVP on this page!

Schedule:

Thursday 24/11 (13:00-19:30)

Venue: Technical University of Berlin, Centre for Entrepreneurship, Hardenbergstraße 38, 10623 Berlin, Germany

Hackathon / creative collaborative coding event

  • Theme 1 - Reproducibility hack: We will attempt to reproduce the analysis and figures of a paper from the raw data (using papers that have also published code). We will be running the hackathon in collaboration with Overleaf and PaperHive, two epic collaboration platforms that we can use to assist with the hack.

  • Theme 2 -Develop the Rfigshare package (figshare new API, in potential collaboration with figshare and Ropensci) and/or continue the CeTrAn project using the new rfigshare package

  • Theme 3 -Any other ideas YOU want to work on!

NOTE: Please sign up here for the hackathon. Spaces are limited! More details on the page.
