🧵👇 What we will build?

@forrt.bsky.social and the Münster Center for Open Science are organizing a Love Replications Week this year. Get in touch if you would like to contribute with tutorials, case studies, or discussions surrounding #reproductions and #replications! The full program will be announced soon!

Graphic announcement with a blue background reading “Big News from RoSE.” The RoSE and FORRT logos appear side by side with an “×” between them. Text states: “We’re launching a Big Team Science review asking: What is the current state of evidence on the use of statistical packages in teaching and learning?” A magnifying glass graphic emphasises the research theme.

📣 Big news from RoSE! We’re launching a new RoSE × FORRT collaborative research project 🎉

With @rosenetwork.bsky.social and @forrt.bsky.social, we’re starting a Big Team Science review on evidence for using statistical packages in teaching & learning.

I loved working on this booklet, the process taught me a a lot about @forrt.bsky.social in a short time and after eyeing the initiative for years, I finally consider myself part of the lovely community now! 🥰
Also, we will extend the booklet in a bigger project - keep an eye out for this in 2026 ✨

The FORRT community is already hard at work producing 🛠️ tools, 📄 guidelines, 💬recommendations and 🚀materials to democratize science and we are excited to continue this work into this next Decade of Science!
Go to forrt.org/awards/ to find out more!

FORRT’s work in 🎓Education & Pedagogy (Curriculum Hub), 🔎Metascience & Research (Replication Hub) and ⚖️ Social Justice & DEIA is an essential contribution to the UN’s strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 🎯

📣We are excited to announce that FORRT is one of the few initiatives worldwide to be formally endorsed as a Programme of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD, 2024–2033)! 🎉

Support: a draft proposal will be provided and collaborate during the German-language version. If you’re based in Germany, meet the eligibility requirements, and can commit the required time, please reach out to Flavio Azevedo and Susann Auer (R4E) via our FORRT Slack join.slack.com/t/forrt/shar...

Commitment expectation:
• Commitment: 20 hours until 1 December.
• We can only include colleagues who can realistically invest the necessary hours for proposal preparation and, if funded, for the project itself. If your capacity is uncertain, it’s better to refrain than to overcommit.

• the project will be led by Susann Auer (R4E) & Flavio Azevedo, with some support by Lukas Wallrich.
• This is not open to newly created networks; prior activity must be demonstrable.

A few clarifications:
* the network must include at least 10 people, and at least half must be members of German universities, with a minimum of three different universities represented.
* people must be able to prove they have and want to improve teaching (sure this isn't hard but still).

Fokus Netzwerke - Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre Die Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre fördert mit der Ausschreibung „Fokus Netzwerke“ bestehende lehrbezogene Netzwerke.

The call focuses on strengthening network-based teaching innovation, runs for 36 months, and offers up to 225.000€ in funding. Pls read carefully:
• Call overview: stiftung-hochschullehre.de/foerderung/f...
• Details (PDF): stiftung-hochschullehre.de/wp-content/u...
• Deadline: 1 December 2025

Hi all German community members,

we’re looking for colleagues based in Germany and employed at a German university or Hochschule who are interested in joining a small team for a Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre application (“Fokus Netzwerke 2026”).

Thank you for sharing it!
