During this workshop Iris Lechner will provide an interactive co-creation workshop to explore ideas on how Open Science can be democratized at LMU. We raise questions such as, how can we change the perceptions of open science? How can we foster institutional change and rewards? What are barriers towards Open Science at the university, and how can we overcome them? What can you as an individual researcher or student, do to foster Open Science practices? During the workshop we will do several interactive exercises to think about out-of-the-box solutions to democratize Open Science. We will focus on exploring ideas, identifying barriers and how to overcome them to strengthen Open Science for individual researchers and in a team setting.

Target audience: The workshop is open to all levels of career stages: students, PhD candidates, post-docs, lecturers and professors.

Logistics: Due to the interactive nature of the workshop it will be held in-person
