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

Just took a moment to follow everyone who was posting on the #FOR2026 tag over the past few days (that I wasn't already). If you are interested in #openresearch #openscience you might want to check it out as well!

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

Great to see open education represented at FOR 2026 today! Rob Farrow presented the GO-GN, a network of PhD candidates around the world whose research projects include a focus on open education (i.e. OER, OEP, MOOC). https://go-gn.net/ #OpenResearch #OpenScience #OER #FOR2026 #OpenEducation

The fact that 10 years after @MsPhelps and I included equity in our working definition of #OpenScience in the form an 'open to participation' pillar (see https://im2punt0.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/defining-open-science-definitions/) we are now at #FOR2026 conference discussing how to include equity in OS means that this change moves at glacial speed and there may be strong incentives against it. One of these might be #universityrankings with their huge inbuilt colonial legacy.
