TU Berlin, 12 & 13 October 2023

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED: BUT YOU MAY STILL SEND US AN E-MAIL

Registration deadline: 30 September, end of day CEST

The two-day scientific workshop "Supporting Open Source Hardware in Academia" will provide a networking and knowledge exchange space for researchers and practitioners of Open Source Hardware in research contexts. The workshop is aimed at researchers, non-profits, companies and advocates in Germany and beyond, working towards broader adoption of Open Source Hardware in science.

The agenda of the event will be co-created with participants. Organizers will facilitate the agenda definition process at the beginning of the conference, to collaboratively propose and select session ideas based on an unconference style. The event will also feature project presentations, panel sessions as well as poster sessions. The outcomes of the event will be summarized and published as proceedings and as a series of blog posts in the Open.Make project blog.

Topics will be collected and chosen at the beginning of day 1. Here are some topics that we would suggest:

• Community-based quality assessment of research hardware
  
• Recognition and reward systems for academic open hardware developers
• Teaching OSH: resources, formats, challenges
• Tools and infrastructure support (ICT, makerspaces): challenges, possibilities, state, outlook
• Connecting open hardware to the broader open science communities
  
• How can research policies foster open hardware in academia?
• ...
  

Your are also invited you to share your suggestions in the registration form.

There will be a poster session for participants to share their past or current work on research hardware in academia. Ideally, the poster subject is free, but it should focus on the process of creation and/or reuse of open hardware within/for academia and/or how to support it. For instance, it can be a poster about a particular product item or project, but it should include process and/or support aspects regarding its openness.

You can either bring your poster, or send it by email (PDF format, A0) to Robert Mies by the end of the 10th of October: robert.mies@tu-berlin.de
