Truth or lie: I gesticulated so enthusiastically during the #FOR2026 poster session that I spilled Apfelschorle on myself.

Recordings (and photos!) from the Future of Open Research Conference FOR2026 in Munich are now available! Our plenary panel on Equity and Justice in Open Research Implementation is listed under Day 2: https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/gallery/

A huge thank you to the PHIL_OS project, led by Professor Sabina Leonelli @sabinaleonelli for organizing the conference and being such wonderful hosts.

If you missed it live, I hope you'll tune in. 💙

Had some decent weather on my day exploring Munich after the #FOR2026 conference despite the forecast... and I took that personally, all 17k steps of it. (☀️ Photo descriptions in the alt text.)

I've had a good few days at #FOR2026 (https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/), where I was on a panel, saw a bunch of people I know, and met even more people I didn't know, and then went to the bi-monthly meeting of the Munich RSE #RSEng chapter followed by a nice dinner, and am now ready to go home

Reporting late from FOR 2026 conference day 2: I had the privilege (and the pressure) of joining the plenary panel on equity & justice in open research implementation. I tried to give voice to the Global South and Eastern Europe. I shared that it's time the established players step back and let us lead.

Paraphrasing @danielskatz: if we keep investing in open infrastructure but not in research we will end up with software no one is using. FOR 2026 plenary panel on the future of open research #FOR2026 #openscience

Someone from a large science publishers just put #diamondoa and transformative agreements side-to-side in a talk at #FOR2026. There was no love for this talk and a lot of enthusiasm for #DOA
