First announcement - Save the Date!
*** Open Science Days 2016, February 17/18, Berlin ***

******************************************************************************

Dear colleagues,

The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) cordially invites you to 
participate in the in the Open Science Days 2016.

The event will take place at the Harnack House in Berlin and is going to 
extend over one and a half days (February 17/18).
It is directed at researchers and specialists from inside and especially 
from outside the Max Planck Society who are interested in an 
interdisciplinary communication about Open Science.

At the forthcoming conference, we would like to put an emphasis on one 
of the numerous areas of Open Science:
The focus topic in 2016 will be CITIZEN SCIENCE.

The concept refers to the growing involvement of amateur or 
non-professional scientists in the research process. In some research 
fields, like e.g. environmental research, this involvement already has 
become a common practice. Other research disciplines seem to be more 
reluctant and yet it is unclear, whether Citizen Science will be an 
important factor in all areas of the entire research process in the future.

The conference language will be English. Program and speakers as well as 
concrete information about registration will be announced soon.

Best wishes
Martin Boosen
