Annual Meeting
The OS Ambassadors and the MPG Open Science community meet once a year in-person, to discuss Open Science strategies, participate in workshops and discuss the status of Open Science within and outside of the Society. The event is open for everyone, who is affiliated with the Max Planck Society.
This year’s annual meeting will take place from September 15 to 16, 2025, at the Harnack House in Berlin. We will tackle topics like Open Peer Review, Citizen Science, effective collaborative work and the status of Open Science in the MPG. A detailed programme will follow soon.
Aside from talks and workshops, the annual meeting includes an open call for current OS Ambassadors and Open Science enthusiasts to introduce their experiences, projects, ideas, events, prices and much more. Please indicate your interest in presenting during registration.
Like every year we will kick-off the annual meeting with a welcome dinner on September 14 at the Luise restaurant. The dinner is on a self-payment basis, but please indicate your participation during registration.
