REMINDER!
*** Open Science Days 2016, February 17/18, Berlin ***

Dear Colleagues,

The Max Planck Digital Library would like to remind you of the upcoming 
Open Science Days in Berlin on February 17/18.

Citizen Science is this year's focus topic: We will have exciting 
reports from researchers who try to advance their activities by 
including the help of non-researchers in their specific projects.
Those activities include e.g. the collection of environmental data from 
the ocean via smartphone and sampling kit. Another project, which deals 
with the behavior of chimpanzees, features the evaluation of huge 
amounts of short films taken by camera traps in the jungle.
Besides further topics we will also hear about experiences on collecting 
money for scientific projects through crowdfunding platforms.

The keynote on Citizen Science will be held by Aletta Bonn while on the 
second day Ulrich Herb is going to take a close look on the current 
state of Open Science in general.
For further details please visit: http://osd.mpdl.mpg.de/

If you had the time and inclination to join us, we would be pleased to 
welcome you in Berlin!
