is the 6th international conference of the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0. It is dedicated to the Open Science movement and provides a unique forum for researchers, librarians, practitioners, infrastructure provider, policy makers, and other important
stakeholders to discuss the latest and future developments in Open Science.</span><br><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><br><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The Open Science movement made substantial progress and receives increasing recognition in the research system. The achievements of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the
FAIR data movement are only two popular examples for this development. However, establishing open science practices as natural component of daily scientific working routines is still a great challenge. Furthermore, the open movement is facing negative trends
such as ‘predatory science’ that recently gained broader public attention.</span><br><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Within this context, this call invites the research community as well as further important stakeholders of the open science movement to submit project presentations and other contributions
