It advances a two-fold objective aligned with the Festival's commitment t o transparency\, collaboration\, and societal impact.\n\nFirst\, it addres ses how to conduct rigorous and open interdisciplinary research where lega l scholarship intersects with complex technical knowledge. Effective legal analysis of open source software\, bioengineering platforms\, or AI syste ms requires not only doctrinal and normative expertise\, but also a ground ed understanding of the relevant scientific and technical infrastructures. Participants from law\, political science\, economics\, and technical dis ciplines will discuss research methodologies that combine legal analysis w ith empirical approaches—such as interviews\, community-based observatio n\, and document analysis—while ensuring transparency\, reproducibility\ , and responsible data governance.\n\nSecond\, the roundtable will critica lly examine open source as a normative and institutional model of knowledg e production. Open source communities operate through shared rules\, licen sing frameworks\, and governance mechanisms designed to promote access\, c ollaboration\, and collective benefit. The discussion will explore how leg al frameworks can be interpreted\, adapted\, or reframed in light of these movements\, which increasingly shape innovation in software\, biology\, a nd AI.\n\nBy integrating methodological reflection with normative inquiry\ , the roundtable aims to generate practical guidance for conducting open\, interdisciplinary research while rethinking the role of law in supporting open and socially oriented models of knowledge creation.\n\n \;\n\n1B Workshop - One Small Step for your Paper\, one Giant Leap for Teaching: A hands-on workshop on exploring open science practices in education and tu rning your research outputs into reusable learning materials\nAre you a re searcher who also contributes to teaching through tutorials\, skills sessi ons\, supervision\, or course development? At the same time\, do you produ ce research outputs that can strengthen education when translated into reu sable learning materials?\n\nThis hands-on workshop\, facilitated by the O pen Science in Education team at Maastricht University\, introduces you to Open Science in Education and its practical relevance for interdisciplina ry work. We will clarify what Open Educational Resources (OER) are\, why o pen licensing matters for reuse\, and how research products can become lea rning resources that are easier to share\, adapt\, and build on across cou rses and disciplines.\n\nYou will then use our AI-based Open Educational R esource Discovery Tool to quickly find high-quality\, openly licensed mate rials relevant to your topic\, and identify opportunities to reuse\, adapt \, or integrate them into teaching. The tool supports fast discovery acros s multiple international repositories\, helping participants move from “ searching” to “selecting” in a structured way.\n\nThe session also f ocuses on options to translate parts of their own research\, such as figur es\, explanations\, datasets\, or methods\, into an educational resource t hat can travel across courses and disciplines. Participants leave with a m ini (re)use roadmap and practical guidance on publishing an OER.\n\nHosted by:\nTeam Open Science in Education\, University Library\nAkorshi Sengupt a\, Specialist Open Science in Education\nMichel Saive\, Scientific Inform ation Specialist\n\n \;\n\n1C Workshop - No more preaching to the choi r: an interactive behavior change science primer\nFacilitator: GJY Peters (Open University)\n\nAfter a decade of grassroots advocacy\, the Open Scie nce movement has now been embraced by all major academic institutions\, su ch as UNESCO\; funders such as the ERC and NWO\; umbrella organizations su ch as UNL and KNAW\; and all Dutch universities (including those of applie d sciences). As a consequence\, in addition to local advocacy and lobbying at intermediate governance levels (e.g. deans\, department heads)\, it no w also becomes important to support the required behavior change of staff members. Behavior Change is a field on its own\, with specific theories\, methods\, principles and practices. This workshop will form an interactive primer in behavior change science\, furnishing you with the basic underst anding of the causal-structural chains that form the core of behavior chan ge. We will do this at the hand of acyclic behavior change diagrams (ABCDs )\, a tool that helps you map what needs to change and how you plan to mak e those changes. The workshops will make you reflect on your assumptions a round people’s reasons for not adopting specific open science practices. You will also learn about ABCDs as an (open) tool that supports thinking about behavior change as well as communicating about your assumptions with others (such as target population members\, stakeholders\, behavior chang e experts\, and other professionals).\n\n \;\n\n1D Showcase - From Sil os to Synergy: How Open Science Drives Interdisciplinarity in a Large Cons ortium\nDACIL is a project whose aim is to promote autonomy and self-relia nce of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by providi ng them with an effective\, artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring system based on voice and skin sensors and an AI-backed\, digital companion that supports a personalized healthy lifestyle in the home environment. Such a big goal can only be achieved with a highly interdisciplinary team\, and for that purpose DACIL involves partners not only from academia\, but also from the industry and the civil society (patient associations). Even with in the UM\, the expertise involves a range from doctors to engineers and f rom data scientists to health promotion experts\, creating a highly interd isciplinary team with huge potential\, but not without its challenges in c ollaboration.\n\nThe project was written with open science values in mind\ , and it has from its start ensured that its research outputs comply with the FAIR principles. Data and related materials are carefully documented\, curated\, and managed to support transparency and long-term usability. Wh enever possible and in line with ethical and legal requirements\, datasets and publications are planned to be shared openly through appropriate repo sitories. DACIL not only aims to provide a tool for COPD patients\, but al so to promote collaboration and responsible knowledge sharing across the r esearch community. In this interactive showcase\, you will learn about the challenges in an interdisciplinary consortium\, and how open science prac tices can help to create synergy across the partners.\n\n \;\n\nAftern oon sessions:\n\n2A Auditing AI algorithms\nFrom the Dutch childcare benef it scandal to discriminatory profiling in Rotterdam\, recent headlines hav e exposed the high stakes of algorithmic decision-making. Algorithmic audi ting has since become a primary tool for ensuring AI systems being used ca n be trusted.\nYet\, auditing AI systems can pose challenges different to those found when auditing systems in more traditional safety-critical fiel ds. AI systems are often dynamic\, their performance highly context-depend ent\, and their evaluations often require assessing difficult normative ch oices: When is the algorithm accurate enough to be used? What does it mean for an algorithm’s decisions to be"explainable"?\nIn this hands-on sess ion\, we will explore the practical challenges of algorithmic audits and r eflect on its potential to help in holding organisations accountable for t heir AI use. Participants will step in the shoes of an auditor and evaluat e the compliance of a hypothetical AI use case against norms from differen t AI auditing frameworks\, hereby exploring challenges related to degrees of access and interdisciplinary collaboration.\nIn addition\, we will high light existing open access resources related to algorithmic auditing\, suc h as auditing frameworks and algorithm registers\, which may be useful for future research projects.\n\n \;\n\n2B Panel - Open Science in Action : Stories from Open Science Grant Winners\nThis panel session will explore Open Science (OS) funding opportunities and the practical experiences of researchers who have successfully obtained such grants. The session will b egin with a short overview of available Open Science funding schemes in th e Netherlands as well as institutional opportunities at Maastricht Univers ity. Following this introduction\, several OS grant recipients from differ ent disciplines will briefly present their funded projects and reflect on their experiences with the application process\, including motivations\, c hallenges\, and lessons learned. The session aims to provide practical ins ights for researchers interested in applying for Open Science grants and t o highlight the diversity of projects that such funding can support. The p anel will conclude with an interactive audience question round\, allowing participants to ask questions about funding opportunities\, proposal prepa ration\, and project execution. This session is intended for researchers\, research support staff\, and students interested in Open Science practice s and funding opportunities\, particularly those considering applying for OS-related grants.\n\n \;\n\n2C Workshop - Preregistration for team qu alitative studies\nFacilitators: Penelope Bollini\, Yannis Stavrakakis\, S zilvia Zörgő\n\nPreregistration of research connotes publicly documentin g your research design\, including research questions\, methods\, and anal ysis plans. Although increasingly frequent in confirmatory studies\, what may preregistration entail for qualitative research? What functions can it have within a team environment? During the gamified workshop we will expl ore the challenges and potential of preregistration\, especially for colla borations accommodating different disciplinary\, theoretical\, and methodo logical backgrounds.\nAdditional information: If possible\, please bring a laptop with you.\n\n \;\n\n2D Interoperability and Linked Data for In terdisciplinary Research: National Initiatives and Practical Perspectives\ nInterdisciplinary research increasingly depends on the ability to connect data\, methods\, and expertise across domains. However\, this is often hi ndered by fragmentation in data structures\, standards\, and infrastructur es. This contribution introduces two emerging national initiatives in the Netherlands—the Dutch Interoperability Network (DIN) and the LCRDM Task Group on Linked Open Data for Research—that aim to address these challen ges.\nThe session will briefly outline how interoperability and Linked Dat a function as enabling mechanisms for interdisciplinary research\, support ing data integration\, reuse\, and semantic alignment across disciplines. It will also reflect on current developments\, community-building efforts\ , and practical approaches explored within these initiatives.\nThe second half of the session will be interactive\, inviting participants to share e xperiences\, challenges\, and needs related to interdisciplinary data prac tices.\nIntended audience: Researchers\, data stewards\, research support staff\, and professionals involved in Open Science\, digital infrastructur e\, and data management.\n\n \;\n\n2E Showcase - Brewing Collaboration : Building a Network of Programming CAFEs\nThe Programming CAFE initiative supports researchers and research supporters in building sustainable\, we lcoming spaces where coding skills can be learned\, practiced\, and shared . Our project focuses on three goals: (1) establishing resources for start ing and managing Programming CAFEs\, collected in the CAFE Playbook: https ://code-cafes-nl.github.io/cafe_playbook/\, (2) supporting institutions in launching new CAFEs and connecting them into a national network\, and (3) developing reusable session materials tailored to NES domain skills.\n\nI n this presentation\, we will showcase our first achievements: the launch of an inaugural CAFE\, a reusable website template\, a framework for sessi on materials\, and ready-to-use promotional assets. We will demonstrate ho w these tools help institutions and communities start their own CAFE and o utline next steps in growing the national network.\n\nThis session is also a call to action:\nWant to launch a local CAFE? We will support you (incl uding financially).\nWant to join the national network? We’ll get you co nnected.\nWant to contribute teaching materials? We’d love your input.\n If there is interest\, we would be happy to continue the conversation and to explore practical next steps together.\n\n \;\n\nEndnote:\n\nThe Ba rcelona Declaration on Open Research Information – From promise to actio n\n\nThis lecture will discuss the importance of open research information \, highlighting the close relationship with ongoing developments around op en science\, recognition and rewards\, and digital autonomy. The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information provides a key mechanism for col lective action to advance open research information. Several examples of c ollective action in the Netherlands\, in Europe\, and globally will be pre sented. By signing the Declaration\, Maastricht University is taking an im portant step in strengthening its commitment to open research information and contributing to a stronger\, more transparent\, and more inclusive res earch system.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n&n bsp\;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\ n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \; \n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n&nbs p\;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n& nbsp\;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n \n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \ ;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\ n\nMAASTRICHT Maastricht University\, Tongersestraat 53 - 6211 LM View Lar ger Map \n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.openscience-maastricht.nl/wp-content /uploads/2026/04/OSFL_beeldmerk-witte-achtergrond-scaled.png CATEGORIES:Open Science Festival LOCATION:Open Universiteit Heerlen & Maastricht University\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=Open Universiteit Heerlen & Maastricht University:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Amsterdam X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Amsterdam BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
