Current Events
Under the title Open Science Short Lectures, the Coordination Office of the Documentation Centres offers short events of 45 minutes on various topics of Open Science. The Short Lectures can be attended as part of the official program (see below). However, it is also possible to book them for a department or research unit. In this case, it is also possible to combine several Short Lectures into one larger event. The Short Lectures are offered in German, French and English.
