Cooperations

The Helmholtz Open Science Office is closely networked with partner organizations and other Open Science-related initiatives at the national, European and global levels.

National and International Cooperation

The Helmholtz Open Science Office benefits from close collaboration with, among others, the Helmholtz Working Group Open Science, the Working Group on Library and Information Management, and the Helmholtz Information & Data Science (HIDS) Framework. By coordinating topic-specific Task Groups, organizing events, and publications, it supports and helps shape efforts to align and position the further development of Open Science and its framework conditions.

The Open Science Office builds on a broad network: At the national level, it is well connected through participation in strategic third-party funded projects and key initiatives on Open Science. In addition, the OS Office is active in international initiatives that are shaping the global transition to Open Science and the necessary framework conditions. Among others:

  • Alliance of German Science Organisations: Focus Initiative „Digitalization in Science”
  • Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)
  • Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA)
  • DEAL Consortium
  • German Initiative for Network Information (DINI)
  • German Reproducibility Network (GRN) 
  • National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)
  • Research Data Alliance (RDA) 
  • Research Data Alliance Deutschland (RDA DE)
