LMU & MPG Open Science Summer School 2024

The LMU & MPG Open Science Summer School 2024 is organised by the LMU Open Science Center (OSC) and the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL).

This intensive 5-day Open Science Summer School provides early career researchers with the knowledge and skills to make their research more transparent, reproducible and credible in the eyes of their peers, the public and funding agencies.

By joining (or accessing the material after the school), you will learn how to:

clarify your research design and set up your statistical plans in advance of collecting data to prevent biases in analyses, with the help of preregistration and data simulation;
create computationally reproducible workflows so you can be more efficient and spot mistakes in data wrangling or analyses, through programming with version controlled scripts;
prepare, manage and share data and code in connection with your articles by applying the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable principles, and using adequate repositories and licenses.

Increase the impact of your research and secure the acknowledgement of your and others contributions by opening your research practices!

Find here the complete programme.

To attend the whole Summer School, i.e. both public lectures and workshops for selected applicants, in person or online, you must apply before 15 July 2024, 12:00 noon CEST.
