Open Science means opening up various elements of the research process without legal, technical or financial obstacles. This includes, for example, the publication of research results in the sense of Open Access and the freely accessible publication of research data. But it also includes making research software, lab books, review processes or teaching and learning materials available. In addition, concepts such as citizen science and science communication are close to the principle of open science.

In this compact introductory session, we present the key concepts and contexts of Open Science and highlight opportunities to expand knowledge and skills.
