2015 Developmental Workshop on Open Research and Practice in Information Systems


May 26, 09.00 – 17.00 (Fürstenberghaus, Room F103)

This workshop will provide a developmental forum for participants to discuss and develop research-in-progress investigating a wide variety of "open" phenomena and practices, such as the Peer Production of Knowledge Goods (e.g. open source software, hardware, content and design; the collaborative economy and the sharing society; etc.), Collective Intelligence, Action and Resources  (e.g. open innovation; the wisdom/wealth/power of crowds; social media in extreme events; citizen science; volunteer computing; crowdsourcing/funding; etc.), and Open Science and Education (e.g. open data/access; publishing and data management conflicts; open teaching and learning; micro-scholarship; open peer-review; etc.)

The workshop will focus on small group work, with round-table discussions of thematically linked research-in-progress, and moderated by a member of the workshop's mentoring committee.

The emphasis will be on focused, pragmatic engagement to support researchers in solving the problems they are presently facing with the work (e.g. theory development, data analysis, communication of results, etc.) There will also be opportunities for broader discussion amongst the full group of workshop participants.
