Berlin University Alliance

On this page, we present our activities to promote and deepen Open Science in the Berlin University Alliance.

One of the central goals of the Berlin University Alliance is to promote and deepen Open Science practices. In doing so, the Alliance is building on the widely held view among Berlin researchers that Open Science should be an overarching or ultimate goal, and is addressing current developments in science policy and scientific practice. These include, for example, the establishment of the European Open Science Cloud, international initiatives such as the DORA declaration, and the German government's focus on the digitization of science and innovation. The amendment of the Berlin Higher Education Act, in which the promotion of Open Science is now also firmly anchored, also gives the Berlin University Alliance and its partners a mandate to act and shape the future.
