Open Science Retreat 2025
Mark your calendars for the third edition of the Open Science Retreat, which will take place from April 13-17, 2025, in Beatenberg, near Interlaken in Switzerland!
This annual retreat is a chance to reset in nature while reflecting on open science topics to inspire your next career move. It’s a week of engaging discussions with international peers mixed in with one-on-one career mentoring/coaching, workshops, and plenty of networking/social activities. The retreat follows an unconference model, where topics are proposed and decided by the participants.
Whether you are just getting started with Open Science or are already an open hero, whether you are a researcher or provide research services, this retreat is for you!
Application for participation is open until February 5, 2025. The retreat is family friendly and the organizers offer stipends.
While the majority of the retreat is in the unconference format, this year the organizers want to source a few workshops from the community no longer than 2-3 hours to complement the program. They invite you to submit an abstract with your workshop idea on any topics related to open science, well-being, or career development.
This year’s Open Science Retreat is jointly organized by the Digital Research Academy, Open Innovation in Life Sciences Association and the Center for Reproducible Science, University of Zurich.
