Sprechen Sie Zimbrisch? Und wie schaut es mit Ihrem Okzitanisch aus? In der #Stiftsbibliothek #Melk werden seit Jahrhunderten Bücher über alle möglichen Sprachen gesammelt, auch über solche, die mittlerweile als bedroht oder ausgestorben gelten. www.ordensgemeinschaften.at/kultur/aktue...

Has the open science community yet established if and when we capitalise “Principles” in “FAIR Principles”?

A flag for the Open Science Festival 2025 stands outside the entrance to the Aula at the University of Vienna campus. The flag features the festival’s keywords “Meet”, “Share”, “Inspire”, and “Care”.

The Open Science Festival 2025 was truly inspiring! ✨

The programme sparked discussions on the past, present & future of #OpenScience. Great to reconnect with colleagues & friends, and big congrats to Team Baby Mac 🏆 on winning the #OKMaps Scavenger Hunt!

Before falling asleep in a not-too-far future, we all wanted to say thanks for coming and contributing and discussing! The floors are empty, the decorations stowed away, but the memories stay 😁 What did you enjoy? What should @uni-bamberg.de do different in 2027? Drop us a line! 💌🔊📧📯 #osfestival2025

YouTube video by H. G. Gunkl Zwischen Ist Und Soll Menschsein Halt

The social event at @osfestivalde.bsky.social last night featured the best guest speaker we’ve ever seen at a conference. Austrian cabaret monologist Gunkl. If you speak German it is HIGHLY worth a few YouTube views.

Katharina Rieck from @fwf-at.bsky.social reminds us of an aspect that is often forgotten: #opensource!

In the beginning, there was a policy - then followed infrastructure, services, and staff, says Barbara Sanchez Solís, looking back on seven years of an RDM policy at @tuwien.at #osfestival2025

(German-language) discussion on #openscience policies in the Aula: starting with media theorist Clemens Apprich from the University of Applied Arts on what such a policy could mean for an arts university. #osa #osfestival2025 #angewandte

Enjoyed the panel and follow up discussion. My key message: 'We should not romantizise open science (same as open data) as pure and innocent, but assess what works (or not) for whom and why.'

Paper with a lot of text in red font

Have a long way home today? Use your time wisely: Open Science Austria #osa has an #openscience #meme competition running! Learn more at their booth downstairs. Important: Deadline today 11:59 pm - create the meme yourself - don't publish it until after the winners were announced. #osfestival2025

Screen with text "Congratulations! Project approved" and two women

Hurray! After developing the #openaccess, #openeducation, and #citizenscience aspects of a fictional project in the workshop "Doing Open Science", our "funder" Lisa Hönegger approved our project! What did you learn im your sessions? #osfestival2025

Our Masters students @petrasaric.bsky.social and Roberta presented a poster about their work on Open Science at the @osfestivalde.bsky.social in Vienna yesterday!

Here a first impression of Bamberg with its historic city centre - a unique and very well-preserved urban work of art, a synthesis of High Medieval and Baroque architecture, recognised as UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage since 1993.

We plan to put the visuals on the website and in the Zenodo community!

🍬 If you need sugar or an #osfestival2025 souvenir: there are some sweets left at the registration desk. This type is called "Seidenzuckerl" (silk sweets) and has been manufactured according to traditional methods by Zuckerlwerkstatt in Vienna. www.zuckerlwerkstatt.at

⏰️ Good morning everyone! Time to stop inspecting your eyelids from inside! The second day of the #osfestival2025 starts at 09:30 with the daily orientation and with @hahnel.org's keynote "The Need for #OpenScience as We Enter the Fourth Paradigm of Academic Research". See you!

People at the Festival Dinner: Do you fancy a midnight snack? There are boxes available - and there is cake left 😳 #osfestival2025 #guiltypleasures

Concert girl meme captioned "Public access to open science is a public good"

Aren't we all just concert girls, trying to get our points across?

We're not at @osfestivalde.bsky.social but heard from @altmetric.com there's a meme competition underway. We have FOMO, so here's our entry:
