I can't believe it's almost been a year since the Open Science Retreat in Switzerland #OSR25CH! Now I am already getting ready to go to the next two.
Two?! Yes.
A Dutch-centered retreat in the dunes and the Open Science Retreat Global in the wonderful green nature of Wales #OSR26UK.
Check out our report from the Open Science Retreat 2025! #osr25ch
The outputs of the Open Science Retreat continue to pour in 🤩

We had such a great time organizing the Open Science Retreat 2025.
Thanks to our partners of the organizing team! 💜
Thanks to OILS (Open Innovation in Life Sciences) and the Center for Reproducible Science (University of Zurich)! 🤗
#ThrowbackThursday #OSR25CH
Such a cool #OSR25CH result for the well-being of the open science community! 💜💜💜

@emilynordmann.bsky.social, Gaby Mahrholz, and I have a new preprint that we wrote during #OSR25CH!
We are very much looking for comments/feedback to make sure it applies outside of our own teaching.

Reflecting about “retreats”.
I recently attended the Open Science Retreat. And wonder, how I can possibly keep up the spirit for myself? As @HeidiSeibold keeps rightfully reminding participants — a retreat is there to “recharge your batteries”. Yep. And why is this necessary (for me)? Simply […]
Loved seeing your reflections 💜 Thanks for sharing!
We’re still feeling the energy from #OSR25CH and so grateful for everyone who helped make it special.
Can’t wait for what’s next! #OSR26UK
The schedule we put up with sticky notes for all kinds of workshops, short sessions and unconference topics, but also breaks and fun social activities

The Open Science Retreat would not have been the same without funding and sponsorship.
The feedback from many of the participants was that it was one of the most inclusive events they've been to and without the additional money we could not have done it.
Thanks! 😍

Was great to receive a travel stipend to attend #OSR25CH! The funds meant I could join the retreat in Switzerland without needing to fly! Thank you SNSF!😊

This was again an interesting event #OSR25CH with amaizingly interesting outcomes (doi.org/10.53962/k86...) and even more interesting weather…
The Open Science Retreat is over 😔
Thanks to everyone for coming! 💜
And thanks Switzerland for showing us all the seasons you have to offer ☀️ 🌧️ ☃️ 🇨🇭 #OSR25CH
Let's see if the UK will be just as amazing 🇬🇧 #OSR26UK

Four seasons in four days! Absolutely wonderful time at #OSR25CH hosted by @digiresacademy.bsky.social.
Snowy trees
Last day of the Open Science Retreat is starting with a special surprise: it's snowing! 🌨
Thanks Switzerland for showing us all the seasons in one week 💜

This group at the Open Science Retreat is identifying challenges and opportunities for Open Research Data reuse and in particular preparing lists on:
💡 learning opportunities
📜 resources & use cases
💰 funding for data reuse
#OSR25CH #OpenData #ORD
This group at the Open Science Retreat is giving concrete examples on how to integrate Open Science practices in assessment of students.
Easy mini-steps that can be incorporated easily, like instead of a regular student paper, have them write a registered report ✅

The Open Science Retreat group on outreach and promotion for Open Science initiatives is working on two projects:
(1) A primer on how to do outreach and promotion
(2) Posts about the work in each of the groups at the Open Science Retreat (including this one) as an example of outreach
#OSR25CH
🌍✈️ Huge thanks to the SNSF for supporting travel stipends that brought international voices to the Open Science Retreat!
Because of their support, researchers and community builders from across borders could join us. 💬🤝
Science is better when it's truly international.

Recap of the day at #OSR25CH
Games are being created, educational resources are being built, zines are being put together, assessments were mapped out, change is being prepped,...
We hiked, laughed, discussed, ate,...
And the day is not even over!
Science karaoke, silent disco & more to come 🎶

Striking a balance - How to make preregistration more accessible and at the same time reproducible
⚖️
That's what this group at the Open Science Retreat is aiming to achieve. Looking forward to their output!

☕️💬 Big thanks to Wikimedia CH for fueling the Open Science Retreat — quite literally!
Their support made our coffee breaks and meeting rooms possible — giving space for spontaneous ideas, and new connections around open research and open knowledge. 🧠✨
Thanks, Wikimedia CH! 🇨🇭

Good morning, Open Science Retreat 2025!

First full day of the Open Science Retreat #OSR25CH is in full swing. Had some wonderful conversations about Open Science, science outreach and marketing, and unconventional careers all in a single day.
And enjoying walks and views of course.
Open Science Retreat 2025 has officially kicked off!
This morning we gathered, got caffeinated, and dove straight into choosing our unconference topics. Discussions are already buzzing—from preregistration to open research data and SciComm. Can’t wait to see where the week takes us!

Big thanks to the Swiss National ORD Strategy Council for sponsoring #OSR25CH that brings folks together to build, reflect & collaborate.
It's all in line with the 🇨🇭 Swiss National ORD Strategy — pushing for sustainable infra, skills, & community for open research.
