"Thanks to our sponsors"

The Open Science Retreat would not have been the same without funding and sponsorship.

The feedback from many of the participants was that it was one of the most inclusive events they've been to and without the additional money we could not have done it.

Thanks! 😍

I feel so cool!😂✨ @digiresacademy.bsky.social has the best merch! #OSR2025 #OpenScience

LOVING being at this year’s Open Science Retreat in the Swiss Alps #OSRCH25! Been working on projects relating to open science as political activism for the past few days 😊 Stay tuned for some openly accessible outputs soon!

@emilynordmann.bsky.social , Gaby Mahrholz, and I have been working on an article about types of assessment to develop open and reproducible science. Turns out being in the beautiful Swiss alps is inspiring! 🇨🇭

Sketching meerkats wasn’t on the list of activities I expected from this Open Science Retreat. But meerkats are social creatures and open science is all about community!

👀 Keep an eye out for our meerkats and other exciting resources for people who spead the good ( #openscience ) word!

Snowy trees

Last day of the Open Science Retreat is starting with a special surprise: it's snowing! 🌨

Thanks Switzerland for showing us all the seasons in one week 💜

When I say that #OSR25CF gave us everything, I really mean it.

Day 1 - Day 4 😳

Four seasons in four days! Absolutely wonderful time at #OSR25CH hosted by @digiresacademy.bsky.social.

This group at the Open Science Retreat is aiming to understand, determine and create rewards needed to support open science practitioners.

#OSR25 #openscience

The group discussing the notes they have made

This group at the Open Science Retreat tries to answer two questions:

1. What tools exist for researchers to work through the research life cycle?
2. Where are the gaps that need to be filled?

Storyboard of the zine

The #OpenScience as activism group at the Open Science Retreat is working on three things:

(1) A Zine: A story about meerkat's experiences (and burnout) in open science advocacy
& a reading list
(2) Stickers
(3) A Support platform with a map of OS activists & communication channels

This group at the Open Science Retreat is identifying challenges and opportunities for Open Research Data reuse and in particular preparing lists on:

💡 learning opportunities
📜 resources & use cases
💰 funding for data reuse

#OSR25CH #OpenData #ORD

This group at the Open Science Retreat is giving concrete examples on how to integrate Open Science practices in assessment of students.

Easy mini-steps that can be incorporated easily, like instead of a regular student paper, have them write a registered report ✅
