Openness and transparency are becoming increasingly important in economic research—not least because results are expected to be traceable and usable for further research, policymaking, businesses and institutions. At the same time, questions of reproducibility are moving further into focus. This is where Open Science comes in: making data, methods and materials openly available makes it easier to scrutinise results and strengthens the integrity of research.

The exhibition “Expedition to the Open Science Land” is designed as a travel guide. It first provides orientation to the “geography” of the Open Science Land and then leads visitors to selected places where specific practices come to life.

The route is divided into three regions—planning, documentation and dissemination—and thus opens up stops along the research process. Along the way, visitors will encounter, among other things, the “Grand Hotel Registrarium”, the “Marketplace of Research Treasures”, the Open Access Library, and the “Bridge of Open Dialogue” between science and society. At the end of the trail, a Reflection Oasis invites visitors to consider the opportunities and challenges of Open Science in their own practice.
