The fifth and final day of the Open Science Center Summer School 2025 is completed ✅ We have concluded a week full of learning, discussing, and practicing open science and open research skills. You can check out the slides and recordings of all the public lectures here: osf.io/x639j/files/....

Female speaker Sarah von Grebmer stands near a table with a laptop and microphone. She stands in the front of the room facing a screen projected onto the wall that displays virtual Post-It notes scattered on an online whiteboard. Items on a surface, a white table, a black chair and the backs of participants are visible at the bottom of the image. A window and wall speaker are visible in the top-left area of the image.

Crossing the half-way point of the Open Science Summer School 2025 as we complete our third day ✅ Participants have gained experience using RStudio, tackled Open Science topics like replicability, open access, and more! Register for the final public lectures: www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS...

One male participant wearing a black jersey and grey pants stands near a female participant wearing glasses, a purple top, and striped beige pants. In the middle of the participants is a small green and white Open Science Summer School flyer on a black stand and behind them are a brown, wooden pillar and a blue security belt. Lights on the ceiling are seen above the participants.

The backs of three participants, two males with dark hair, one wearing a black jersey and the other wearing a blue sweater, and one female with light brown hair and a red top, are seen sitting in white chairs behind tables with laptops, power outlets, and a microphone on them. Speaker Prof. Dr. Richard McElreath is projected on the screen at the front of the room next to a slide from his presentation. The presentation on the screen contains a flowchart with elements such as statistical model, measurement model, sample estimate, etc. Wall speakers are seen on either side of the room and a projector is at the top.
