Helmholtz Reproducibility Workshop
Reproducibility is a cornerstone of the open science movement, enhancing scientific integrity and bolstering public confidence in research outcomes. Helmholtz plays a pivotal role in advocating for reproducible and robust research on both national and international fronts.
Building on the success of the previous online workshops, “Enabling Reproducibility in Data Science” and “Love Your Data? Make It Reproducible!”, as well as the inaugural on-site Helmholtz Reproducibility Workshop at GFZ in Potsdam, Helmholtz is thrilled to reunite the Helmholtz community in person at the Max Delbrück Center | MDC-BIMSB.
This fourth workshop, co-organized by the Helmholtz Open Science Office and the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA) in collaboration with local experts at the Max Delbrück Center, will explore the essence of reproducible science and its transformative potential. This year, the focus will be on reproducibility within the Helmholtz research field “Health,” reflecting the expertise of our host center. Nonetheless, the workshop will also address broader aspects of reproducibility, ensuring its relevance to researchers across all fields. Through this event, the future of reproducible, robust, and transparent research within the Helmholtz community is to be shaped.
The workshop will kick off with two keynotes on reproducibility, delivered by Altuna Akalin (MDC) and Frieder Paulus (Lübeck University), with both sessions being livestreamed for accessibility to all Helmholtz Centers. After the keynotes, participants can engage in one of two hands-on workshops designed to provide practical tools and insights for integrating reproducibility into their scientific practices.
The event will conclude with a shared lunch, fostering networking opportunities among attendees.
The detailed program and the registration link will be available by September 12, 2024.
How to participate?
- Participation is free of charge (incl. lunch). During the registration process, you will be asked to choose one of the two workshops on offer. They will take place in parallel so you can only attend one.
- Registration for the onsite event will be open from September 12 to October 10, 2024. Seats are limited and will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis.
- Please only register if you are able to come. Otherwise you might block a seat that someone else would have liked to actually use.
- Should you not be able to attend in person, the keynotes will be streamed in a hybrid setting. Registration for the keynotes is open from September 12 until October 22, 2024.
Organizers
The Helmholtz Open Science Office supports the Helmholtz Association as a service provider in shaping the cultural change towards open science. It represents Helmholtz in various open science initiatives, is involved in third-party funded projects, and in this way communicates the Helmholtz positions on open science on a national and international level.
HIDA – the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy – is Germany’s largest postgraduate training network in the field of information and data science, preparing the next generation of scientists for a data-intensive future of research.
