    Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Research Conference 2020

    May 7-8, 2020 at CERN IdeaSquare, Geneva, Switzerland

    Dear colleagues,

    We invite you to join the discussion about open and collaborative approaches in science by submitting an abstract of 250-500 words on your empirical or conceptual work to one of the following conference tracks: 

    Track 1: Open and collaborative approaches along the entire scientific research process. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

    • crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and citizen science
    • open data sharing/re-use, OIS approaches to translating science into practice,
    • science-industry relations, academic entrepreneurship

    Track 2: Ecosystems and organizational designs facilitating open and collaborative research approaches. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

    • institutional factors
    • local and national policies
    • intellectual property and copyright supporting OIS
    • incentive systems for OIS

    Track 3: Micro-foundations of open and collaborative research approaches. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

    • scientists' motives for engaging in OIS
    • skills and capabilities for OIS
    • characteristics and motives of institutional entrepreneurs 

    We welcome abstracts on early-stage ideas as well as more mature projects. The paper of the submitted abstract must not have been accepted for journal publication.
    To submit, please use the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=oisconference2020. The submission deadline is March 13, 2020. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the organizing committee and – given their fit – assigned a presentation slot at the conference. Information on abstract acceptance and conference registration will be provided by March 20, 2020.

    In addition to paper sessions, the conference includes keynotes, an OIS experimentation session, an OIS debate, a conference dinner on May 7 and a visit to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on May 8. A preliminary conference program is available on our conference website: https://ois.lbg.ac.at/en/research/ois-conference-2020. Participation (including meals and social program) is free; travel and hotel expenses are not included. Participating in the conference either requires getting an abstract accepted for presentation or being invited to contribute in an active role as a speaker, discussant, panelists or session facilitator.

    We look forward to welcoming you at the 2nd OIS Research Conference at CERN IdeaSquare in May 2020!
