The LMU Open Science Center organises this hybrid open research summer school to allow early-career researchers to gain more trust in the research that they do, and make it as credible as it can be in the eyes of their peers, the public, and funding agencies.

By joining (or accessing the material after the school), you will learn how to:

• plan your statistical plans in advance of collecting data to prevent biases in analyses, with the help of preregistration and data simulation;
• create computationally reproducible workflows so you can be more efficient and spot mistakes in data wrangling or analyses, through programming, creating dynamic reports, and version controlling scripts;
• share data, materials, codes, and articles appropriately (using Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable principles, sensible data anonymisation techniques, adequate repositories and licences) for your research to have more impact, by allowing others to build upon or replicate your work;
• follow guidelines to report results adequately and conduct systematic reviews

The summer school will consist of public lectures and workshops for selected applicants.

Some keynote presenters:

• Prof Uli Dirnagl, Director of QUEST Center for Responsible Research
• Prof Stephan Hartmann, Co-Director of Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy
• Dr Tony Ross-Hellauer, Leader of Open and Reproducible Research Group
• Prof Richard McElreath, Department Director at MPI Evolutionary Anthropology
• Dr Joachim Wuttke, Leader of Scientific Computing Group
• Dr Tim Errington, Senior Director of Research at Center for Open Science
• Dr Verena Heise, Open Science Freelancer
• Valérie Labonté, Researcher in Evidence in Medicine
• Dr Raphael Ritz, Head of Data Division at Max Planck Computing and Data Facility
• Prof Denis Kenji Kipker, Professor for IT Security Law
• Sofija Vojvodic, Researcher at Berlin Institute of Health
• Prof Felix Schönbrodt, Director of LMU Open Science Center
• Dr Malika Ihle, Coordinator of LMU Open Science Center

...and many more instructors!

Apply to attend the whole summer school (in-person or online)

To attend the whole school, i.e. both public lectures and workshops for selected applicants, in person or online, you must apply before 17 July 2023, 12:00 noon.

The summer school is targeted at PhD students of all scientific disciplines (Medical sciences, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, etc. as opposed to research fields in the Humanities). Master students and early post docs are also welcome to apply. It will be held in a hybrid format and you will be able to choose your preferred mode of participation (online or in-person). By applying, we expect you to attend all sessions of the school (with exception possible).
