Open Science: From the crisis of science to science for times of crisis?
The global fight against the spread of the corona virus has dominated t he social\, economic and cultural life of most countries in the world to a n unprecedented extent since the beginning of 2020. The current interest o f citizens in highly complex topics is high and shows the enormous importa nce of scientific knowledge for the handling of global crises. Under the e yes of politicians and the public\, scientists around the globe are workin g together to find solutions to the corona crisis. This also includes inte rpreting this knowledge with politicians and the public. In this respect\, this exceptional situation illustrates the value of the ideals of Open Sc ience for the scientific community and for society as a whole - the role o f transparency\, collaboration and the rapid exchange of research results in science\, and how effective science communication can be used to share new findings comprehensively and translate them quickly into social and po litical practice. In addition\, the crisis experience brings other social threats such as climate change or global environmental destruction back in to the public consciousness. At this year's Barcamp Open Science@GeNeMe 20 20\, we want to explore with you the opportunities for Open Science in ove rcoming global crises and discuss together how the Open Science movement s hould position itself in relation to current crisis experiences.
L ike so many other events this year\, we are taking up the challenge of org anizing the Barcamp in a purely online format for the first time. At the s ame time\, however\, we also see this challenge as an opportunity to furth er open up the Barcamp for international participation and to invite Open Science enthusiasts from all over the world to join us and exchange ideas\ , discuss new developments and share their experiences in the proliferatio n of open\, collaborative and digital science.
Registratio n is required and is now possible\, the number of participants is limited to 60 persons. Tickets can be ordered free of charge via Eventbri te under the following link (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/barcamp-open-sci ence-geneme-2020-tickets-117387363765).
