FULLY BOOKED: 21-10-2024, MAASTRICHT
We are now fully booked, and there is a long waiting list, so we are sorry to inform you that if you are not registered or on the waiting list, you have to wait for another edition of the Barcamp. We will let people on the waiting list know if they can join us after all via email.
The Barcamp format brings together both novices and experts in Open Science. Its open format supports lively discussions, development of new ideas, and knowledge exchange amongst peers; from participants who already use open ways of working and people relatively new to OS.
Satellite event of the National Open Science Festival
This Barcamp will take place the day before the 2024 edition of the Netherlands National Open Science Festival in Maastricht, based on the successful Open Science Barcamp in Germany, that has been a Satellite Event of the Berlin Open Science Conference for a decade now.
Like the Open Science Festival, participation in the Barcamp is open for all, and free of charge. You don’t have to attend the Festival in order to register for the Barcamp. Places are limited to 100 participants max. The Barcamp is organised by the network of bottom up Open Science Communities OSC-NL with financial aid from the OpenScienceNL meeting fund.
Where and when
The Open Science Barcamp will take place on the 21st of October in the School of Business and Economics (SBE) aan de Tongersestraat 53 6211 LM in Maastricht, the same venue where the National Open Science Festival 2024 will take place the next day.

This is an in-person event only. If you wish to join an OS Barcamp remotely, you can do so on Sept 5, 2024, when our German friends host their Barcamp in a hybrid format. See www.barcamp-open-science.eu .
What is a Barcamp?
A Barcamp is an all-day-long event with no predetermined programme – the topics of all sessions are determined on the spot: ‘unconference‘ style. We give participants the opportunity to put their session ideas in a note pad in the weeks leading up to the Barcamp, so they can already prepare/merge some of them beforehand, but this is not strictly necessary.
The venue consists of one big plenary room and several smaller break-out rooms. During the plenary sessions, anyone can propose a topic for a break-out session. Next, you can join any of those sessions and get to work!
Break-out sessions can have any format:
- discussion groups
- knowledge sessions
- practical sessions
or any other format that you can think of. Anything goes as long as you stay within the strict time limit of 40 minutes per session. However, you also propose a follow-up session in the next round.
