Thinking of making the switch to open science? 🔁 The Switch to Open Program (SwOP) is an ongoing program at the OSC to support research groups who want to switch to open science practices. Here’s how your research group can benefit from this program: #OpenScience #FAIRdata #LMUOSC

Been working on a tutorial on synthetic data for open science for @lmu-osc.bsky.social A draft version is now up: lmu-osc.github.io/synthetic-da... It covers model building, evaluating synthetic data utility with density ratio estimation, and disclosure risk. Feedback is very welcome!

🚧 There are many barriers to implementing open research practices. In Jan 2025, the OSC surveyed researchers at the Biomedical Center (BMC) of LMU to determine some ways we can get over these hurdles. Here's what we found: #OpenScience #LMUOSC

🎯 The OSC proudly supported 6 of 7 funded Clusters of Excellence at LMU. 🤝 Excited to continue working with the @synergy-munich.bsky.social & ORIGINS clusters which are both OSC Funding Members. Congrats to all involved! 🎉 Looking forward to excellent AND transparent research! #OpenScience #LMUOSC
