Workshop: Rethinking Openness in 2025 - Open Science Transformation in Communication and Media Studies in the Age of AI

[AI Summary]: The FID Media is hosting a workshop on October 24, 2025, at the University Library Marburg to critically examine the concept of “openness” in science, particularly in light of AI developments, data-driven warfare, populist cultural conflicts, and increasing societal polarization. The event explores what “open” means in contemporary contexts, when forms of closure might be necessary, and implications for scientific practice. Three panels will address themes of openness and communication, data and digitality, and infrastructures, featuring speakers from various German universities discussing topics ranging from structural barriers to openness, data ethics, film preservation, and archive access.

The workshop takes place October 24, 2025 from 9:00-16:45 at University Library Marburg. Registration required.
