Open Source und offene Wissenschaft

Open Source und offene Wissenschaft sind Themen, die in der heutigen digitalen Welt immer wichtiger werden. Der Begriff Open Source bezieht sich ursprünglich auf die Offenheit des Quellcodes von Software, hat sich aber mittlerweile auf andere Bereiche wie Daten, Produkte und Abläufe ausgeweitet. Offene Wissenschaft bedeutet, dass Wissen für alle zugänglich gemacht wird und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Wissenschaftlern und der Öffentlichkeit gefördert wird. Der Text beschreibt die Geschichte und Entwicklung von Open Source und offener Wissenschaft sowie die verschiedenen Denkschulen, die den Diskurs prägen. (Herausgeber)Open source and open science are topics that are becoming increasingly important in today\u27s digital world. The term open source originally refers to the openness of the source code of software, but has since expanded to other areas such as data, products and processes. Open science means making knowledge available to all and encouraging collaboration between scientists and the public. The text describes the history and development of open source and open science and the different schools of thought that shape the discourse. (Editor

Attendance-based and online learning in university teacher training

Hochschuldidaktik 4.0 überträgt das in der jüngsten Vergangenheit vielfach implementierte und beforschte Konzept des Flipped Classroom auf Veranstaltungen der Lehrendenqualifizierung. Es soll auch bei der Qualifizierung von Lehrenden eine Möglichkeit aufzeigen, von den positiven Effekten des Konzeptes zu profitieren und mithilfe von drei Phasen eine intensivere Beteiligung und einen stärkeren Austausch unter den Teilnehmenden zu befördern. Der Beitrag beschreibt den Stand der Forschung und bietet einen Einblick in die konzeptionelle Gestalt eines Flipped-Classroom- Modells für die Hochschuldidaktik. (DIPF/Orig.)Our model for a new course design in the field of Higher Education transfers the widely discussed concept of the Flipped Classroom to the strands of staff development and especially to university teacher training. We will show how lecturers or professors can benefit from the positive effects of an up-to-date training including digital interactive learning settings. Moreover, our model will pro- mote more intensive participation and exchange among the participants along the lines of three sequential phases. The article describes the state of research and offers an insight into the conceptual design of a flipped classroom model for teacher training in the field of higher education. (DIPF/Orig.

The 2015 Annual Meeting of SETAC German Language Branch in Zurich (7-10 September, 2015): ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry-from research to application

This report provides a brief review of the 20th annual meeting of the German Language Branch of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC GLB) held from September 7th to 10th 2015 at ETH (Swiss Technical University) in Zurich, Switzerland. The event was chaired by Inge Werner, Director of the Swiss Centre for Applied Ecotoxicology (Ecotox Centre) Eawag-EPFL, and organized by a team from Ecotox Centre, Eawag, Federal Office of the Environment, Federal Office of Agriculture, and Mesocosm GmbH (Germany). Over 200 delegates from academia, public agencies and private industry of Germany, Switzerland and Austria attended and discussed the current state of science and its application presented in 75 talks and 83 posters. In addition, three invited keynote speakers provided new insights into scientific knowledge ‘brokering’, and—as it was the International Year of Soil—the important role of healthy soil ecosystems. Awards were presented to young scientists for best oral and poster presentations, and for best 2014 master and doctoral theses. Program and abstracts of the meeting (mostly in German) are provided as Additional file 1

Cold atoms in space: community workshop summary and proposed road-map

We summarise the discussions at a virtual Community Workshop on Cold Atoms in Space concerning the status of cold atom technologies, the prospective scientific and societal opportunities offered by their deployment in space, and the developments needed before cold atoms could be operated in space. The cold atom technologies discussed include atomic clocks, quantum gravimeters and accelerometers, and atom interferometers. Prospective applications include metrology, geodesy and measurement of terrestrial mass change due to, e.g., climate change, and fundamental science experiments such as tests of the equivalence principle, searches for dark matter, measurements of gravitational waves and tests of quantum mechanics. We review the current status of cold atom technologies and outline the requirements for their space qualification, including the development paths and the corresponding technical milestones, and identifying possible pathfinder missions to pave the way for missions to exploit the full potential of cold atoms in space. Finally, we present a first draft of a possible road-map for achieving these goals, that we propose for discussion by the interested cold atom, Earth Observation, fundamental physics and other prospective scientific user communities, together with the European Space Agency (ESA) and national space and research funding agencies.publishedVersio

Finally! Insights into the ARCHES Lunar Planetary Exploration Analogue Campaign on Etna in summer 2022

This paper summarises the first outcomes of the space demonstration mission of the ARCHES project which could have been performed this year from 13 june until 10 july on Italy’s Mt. Etna in Sicily. After the second postponement related to COVID from the initially for 2020 planed campaign, we are now very happy to report, that the whole campaign with more than 65 participants for four weeks has been successfully conduced. In this short overview paper, we will refer to all other publication here on IAC22. This paper includes an overview of the performed 4-week campaign and the achieved mission goals and first results but also share our findings on the organisational and planning aspects
