The Open Science Retreat would not have been the same without funding and sponsorship. The feedback from many of the participants was that it was one of the most inclusive events they've been to and without the additional money we could not have done it. Thanks! 😍 #OSR25CH

The Open Science Retreat is over 😔 Thanks to everyone for coming! 💜 And thanks Switzerland for showing us all the seasons you have to offer ☀️ 🌧️ ☃️ 🇨🇭 #OSR25CH Let's see if the UK will be just as amazing 🇬🇧 #OSR26UK

The Open Science Retreat 2025 is drawing to a close. All groups are now sharing what they worked on. Outputs will be collected on buff.ly/XJzIv4b Thanks everyone for your inspiring contributions 👏 Check the hashtag #OSR25CH for details on the groups

Perfect spot to work on facilitating #preregistration!😍 #OSR2025 @digiresacademy.bsky.social #OpenScience

I feel so cool!😂✨ @digiresacademy.bsky.social has the best merch! #OSR2025 #OpenScience

LOVING being at this year’s Open Science Retreat in the Swiss Alps #OSRCH25! Been working on projects relating to open science as political activism for the past few days 😊 Stay tuned for some openly accessible outputs soon!

@emilynordmann.bsky.social , Gaby Mahrholz, and I have been working on an article about types of assessment to develop open and reproducible science. Turns out being in the beautiful Swiss alps is inspiring! 🇨🇭

Sketching meerkats wasn’t on the list of activities I expected from this Open Science Retreat. But meerkats are social creatures and open science is all about community! 👀 Keep an eye out for our meerkats and other exciting resources for people who spead the good ( #openscience ) word! #OSR2025

Last day of the Open Science Retreat is starting with a special surprise: it's snowing! 🌨 Thanks Switzerland for showing us all the seasons in one week 💜 #OSR25CH

When I say that #OSR25CF gave us everything, I really mean it. Day 1 - Day 4 😳

Four seasons in four days! Absolutely wonderful time at #OSR25CH hosted by @digiresacademy.bsky.social.

This group at the Open Science Retreat is aiming to understand, determine and create rewards needed to support open science practitioners. #OSR25 #openscience

This group at the Open Science Retreat tries to answer two questions: 1. What tools exist for researchers to work through the research life cycle? 2. Where are the gaps that need to be filled? #OSR25 #openscience

The #OpenScience as activism group at the Open Science Retreat is working on three things: (1) A Zine: A story about meerkat's experiences (and burnout) in open science advocacy & a reading list (2) Stickers (3) A Support platform with a map of OS activists & communication channels #OSR25

This group at the Open Science Retreat is identifying challenges and opportunities for Open Research Data reuse and in particular preparing lists on: 💡 learning opportunities 📜 resources & use cases 💰 funding for data reuse #OSR25CH #OpenData #ORD

This group at the Open Science Retreat is giving concrete examples on how to integrate Open Science practices in assessment of students. Easy mini-steps that can be incorporated easily, like instead of a regular student paper, have them write a registered report ✅ #OSR25CH #OpenScience

The Open Science Retreat group on outreach and promotion for Open Science initiatives is working on two projects: (1) A primer on how to do outreach and promotion (2) Posts about the work in each of the groups at the Open Science Retreat (including this one) as an example of outreach #OSR25CH

Recap of the day at #OSR25CH Games are being created, educational resources are being built, zines are being put together, assessments were mapped out, change is being prepped,... We hiked, laughed, discussed, ate,... And the day is not even over! Science karaoke, silent disco & more to come 🎶

What's better than a hike with #OpenScience friends? #OSR25CH

Striking a balance - How to make preregistration more accessible and at the same time reproducible ⚖️ That's what this group at the Open Science Retreat is aiming to achieve. Looking forward to their output! With @lspitzer.bsky.social and @heyitsaiste.bsky.social #OSR25CH #Preregistration

This group at the Open Science Retreat is creating a game similar to Family Feud called "Survey says: Open Science" Help needed: Fill in the blanks in the following 12 statements about Open Science to help the group get 100 answers: buff.ly/WTtpZCA We will play it tomorrow! #OSR25CH #OpenScience

Good morning, Open Science Retreat 2025! #OSR25CH #MorningActivities #OpenScience

Super excited that it's #osr2025ch (Open Science Retreat 2025) week! Watching the introductory presentations and feeling so many exciting ideas fill my brain! Can't wait to get involved in some cool projects this week! Very cool to hear from a few of the associated organisations! - […]

First full day of the Open Science Retreat #OSR25CH is in full swing. Had some wonderful conversations about Open Science, science outreach and marketing, and unconventional careers all in a single day. And enjoying walks and views of course.

Open Science Retreat 2025 has officially kicked off! This morning we gathered, got caffeinated, and dove straight into choosing our unconference topics. Discussions are already buzzing—from preregistration to open research data and SciComm. Can’t wait to see where the week takes us! #OSR25CH

Learn how to fight Academic Spam! Check out this upcoming DRA workshop this week!

📣 FREE ONLINE COURSE 👇 # Fighting Academic Spam: Protecting Researchers and Science Academic spam—unsolicited invitations, predatory journals, and fake conferences—is more than just an inbox nuisance. It threatens research integrity, wastes valuable time, and exploits academics for profit.
