Zur Förderung des Dialogs zur NFDI in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft veranstaltete das Helmholtz Open Science Office am 8. Dezember 2021 ein zweites virtuelles Helmholtz Open Science Forum unter dem Motto „Helmholtz in der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI)“. Alle Mitarbeitenden der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft waren eingeladen, sich an dem zentrenübergreifenden Austausch zu beteiligen. Aufbauend auf das erste Forum im Mai 2021 lag der Schwerpunkt der Veranstaltung auf der Identifikation und Diskussion von Helmholtzspezifischen Themen und Aktivitäten bei der Realisierung der...

The present Recommendations for Policies of the Helmholtz Centers on Research Data Management were adopted on September 13/14, 2017 by the Assembly of Members of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. It was emphasized that, for the Helmholtz Association, open access and technology transfer are goals of equal importance whose possibly diverging requirements have to be weighed against each other in each individual case.

The present Helmholtz Open Science Policy is organized into three sections. In the section “A. Strategic Positioning,” the Helmholtz Association formulates a commitment to open science in accordance with the principle “as open as possible and as closed as necessary.” In the section “B. Monitoring,” Helmholtz makes a commitment to open science on the basis of the three current focus areas (open access, open research data, and open research software) through specific and verifiable objectives....

Die vorliegende Helmholtz Open Science Policy gliedert sich in drei Abschnitte. Im Abschnitt „A. Strategische Positionierung“ formuliert die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft ein Bekenntnis zu Open Science, entsprechend dem Grundsatz „as open as possible and as closed as necessary“. Im Abschnitt „B. Monitoring“ legt Helmholtz eine Selbstverpflichtung zu Open Science anhand der drei aktuellen Schwerpunktthemen (Open Access, Open Research Data und Open Research Software) durch konkrete und überprüfbare Ziele vor. Im Abschnitt „C. Umsetzung und gemeinsame Anforderungen“ werden...

This position paper was drafted by the Task Group “Access to and Reuse of Research Software” of the Helmholtz Association Open Science Working Group and adopted by the Open Science Working Group on March 14, 2017.

This position paper was drawn up by the Task Group Research Software of the Helmholtz Association Open Science Working Group and adopted by the Open Science Working Group on November 21, 2019.

As the digitalization of research and teaching progresses, the number of software solutions developed at scientific institutions and used for the purpose of knowledge production is increasing. The accessibility and reuse of scientific results called for under the heading “open science” can be ensured in many fields only if, in addition to research data, program code is also made openly accessible. The present guide is addressed to decision-makers at the Helmholtz Centers who deal with...

The Model Policy was drawn up by the Research Software Task Group with the assistance of other experts from the Helmholtz Association and was agreed with the Technology Transfer and Commercial Legal Protection Working Group and the Legal Affairs Working Group. The present version was adopted by the Open Science Working Group on November 21, 2019.

Dieses Positionspapier wurde von der Task Group „Zugang zu und Nachnutzung von wissenschaftlicher Software“ des Arbeitskreises Open Science der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft erarbeitet und vom Arbeitskreis Open Science am 14.03.2017 verabschiedet.
