In two very insightful workshops, Next Generation Literacies members learned about the principles and infrastructures of open science – a topic that is consistently gaining in importance for scholars internationally. 

In December 2023, Dr Meng Liu, Assistant Professor at the School of English and International Studies at Beijing Foreign University, gave an overview of the topic, from historical roots to future horizons. Along the way, Dr Liu dispelled common misconceptions regarding open science, inspiring network members to embrace its possibilities. 

In a follow-up workshop, in February 2024, Dr Christoph Schindler laid out the role of open science in education research. As head of the Literature Information Systems Department at the Information Centre for Education at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education, Dr Schindler pointed participants to useful infrastructures in linking open science with the discipline of education. 

We would like to thank the speakers for the very informative workshops and the attendees for their interesting questions and stimulating contributions to the discussion!
