 Welcome everyone, Willkommen. I'm here today to talk about the key to open practices, which is generating synergies between open education and open science. Quick info about me, my name is Claudia Hackel. I'm the project manager of Open Education Austria Advanced, which is an Austrian digitalization project in the higher education sector. I'm located at the University of Vienna, Center for Teaching and Learning there. So, let's start classically with an open educational resources definition. We are our teaching and learning materials in any medium that can reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost use access, adaptation, and all these kinds of redistributions by others with no or with limited restrictions and open educational resources in German, often a Bildungsressursen, are part of the open solutions alongside open source software, for example, or open access publications, open data, and also crowdsourcing platforms. So, let's dive into the topic and dive into generating synergies between open education and open science. These two players are deeply connected because in the EU's open science policy, there are eight ambitions formed. For example, open data, the European Open Science Cloud is also one ambition, then also future scholarly communication rewards, citizen science, but also education and skills. So, these educational skills mentioned as one of the central ambitions of the EU's open science policy says that all scientists in Europe should have the necessary skills and support to apply open science research routines and practices. So here you see that these open science practices and research routines are only possible to be supported if you have the necessary educational skills to apply these. In order to equip these researchers with the appropriate skills to facilitate open science, it's crucial to first promote awareness of open science practices here, particularly open access, open data as I already mentioned, but also open education, open peer review and citizen science. So here you see open science and open education are two very deeply connected concepts. So what are we doing at the moment? We are implementing the EU's open science policy. The Austrian open science policy has just released a few weeks ago and also the Austrian universities are currently implementing corresponding initiatives in the field of open education, but also in the field of open access and open data. So here, these initiatives try to establish technical infrastructure, for example, archiving systems, learning management tools and also then on how to produce OER, use OER, handle metadata, for example, and also further training for academic staff such as the OER production, didactics, legal issues, all terms of research data management as well. And the Austrian digitalization projects which we are part of, we're actively shaping the digital change in the Austrian higher education sector. We're also improving the quality of higher education and digital technologies. We're opening up and expanding access to science and research, mainly in our work here through open educational resources and we're making workflows at universities more efficient. This all in terms of requirements of digital teaching, open education and open science and these which are what we take in mind. So here's a quick slide on all the other very interesting digitalization projects going on at the moment in Austria, which we are only one part of. We're open education Austria advanced, the central OER project in the Austrian higher education sector. We are a project of several universities in Austria, a joint development for open solutions for OER and we're a cooperation of e-learning centers, central IT services and university libraries with the aim of the contribution to the free use of educational content from teaching in university sector. And we're also trying to establish open practices analogous to research, such as open access, open data. So also the open education concepts. So what are we actually aiming as our project objectives? We're further developing the OER hub, which is the OER meter search engine as it's an open system architecture that makes it possible for OER throughout the Austrian higher education sector to be found and then to be used. We're also developing further the local technical repositories, for example, and other technical infrastructure in the local departments. We're also establishing a national OER certification body to certify OER activity at universities, higher education institutions and also university teachers. Then we're also offering further training on OER. We are raising the production process and development of OER and implementing that at the several universities and of course also the knowledge transfers. So we're offering consulting sessions for interested higher education institutions if they want to jump on the OER train. And that all at the crossroads of teaching and learning centers, libraries and central IT services to establish open practices. That was my quick intro on how our work is a part of the key to open practices and on how our work is establishing and generating synergies between open education and open science. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy here to answer these. Feel free to contact me. Here's the email address and our project homepage. See you soon. Dankeschön.
