#OpenScience lobbyists, skeptics and everything in between: consider coming to Munich in May 2026 (gorgeous time to visit..) to discuss the future of Open Research!
FOR2026 is open for submissions, deadline 30/09/2025: https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/
A quick reminder to all those who care about open research to consider joining us for the FOR2026 Conference in the Future of Open Research at the Technical University of Munich in May 4-6, 2026! Deadline for papers or poster proposals is 30 September
Sorry for the mstdn absence, I am using Bluesky more often these days - wanted to send a reminder that our Ethical Data Initiative Town Hall is happening this coming Monday (31.03) and it is still possible to register to follow online: https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/2024/12/20/ethical-data-initiative-annual-townhall-event/ This article, just out, explains what EDI is and why #dataethics matters more than ever: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10938021
Strange weeks at work, but my research group @opensciencestudies continues to inspire and nurture me, and I heard from Cambridge University Press that my small book on the philosophy of #OpenScience got accepted for publication later this year - one last read and I am sending it off to production. Referees found it rather provocative, I hope it will support ongoing dialogues around how to reform research responsibly, focusing on planetary health not technological empires
Last call for papers for #OpenScience Conference FOR2026! ⏰ ‼️ The deadline is tomorrow night - all of you who practice, study or govern Open Research, please submit an abstract and join us in Munich in May 2026 - it’s the best time to be in the city and a great opportunity to foster responsible and equitable open research. All details here: https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/
On March 31 I shall be hosting a public debate in hybrid format on “Is Open Science Good for Research, featuring Helen Longino, Cameron Neylon, Rachel Ankeny and Sally Wyatt! Register online here: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/news/events/details/index.php?event=12701 @StudiesOpen
Just posted preprint on ethical AI focusing on data modelling strategies to tackle uncertainty & opacity - with brilliant mathematicians Cassandra Bird and Daniel Williamson. We use COVID-19 transmission models as example. Comments welcome as we wait for referee reports! https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.05529
We moved the Philosophy of Open Science group from X to LinkedIn - come find us here for news and research on responsible, inclusive #OpenResearch and related philosophy/socialstudies/history! https://www.linkedin.com/groups/9842045
What is misinformation? Is it always a matter of “getting the facts wrong”? Or can we understand it very differently? Come discuss with us in Munich on December 9 - event in person only, unfortunately, but registration and reception are free thanks to ERC funding! https://www.sts.sot.tum.de/en/sts/home/events/article/missinformation-workshop/

@QNFO@mstdn.science thanks for the interest and the comment! isn’t it a bit worrying that you think AI-assisted research is not compatible with being socially responsive and responsible? I don’t see why that should be the case, and yes I am very strongly in favour of this being a priority in AI development. Discussing the problem of misinformation seems crucial in that respect, precisely because of all the problems this brings for AI applications and beyond
Replying to
@QNFO@mstdn.science agree to disagree! We detailed some worries in this report: https://royalsociety.org/news-resources/projects/science-in-the-age-of-ai/
