Education and Training for Open Science and Research Quality during the Winter-term 2025/26
In this overview you will find training and continuing education offers on various topics concerning Open Science and research quality. The offers are aimed at researchers, teachers and students. For this purpose, we regularly search the offers of continuing education at graduate schools, continuing education centers as well as the course catalogs of the collaborative partners before the start of the semester.
A new addition to the overview is the topic of AI, which is becoming increasingly relevant to us due to its close connection to issues of research ethics and good scientific practice.
The titles of the courses, which are highlighted with links, will take you to the pages of the institutions offering the courses, where you will find further information on eligibility and registration. Some of the courses are open to all members of the BUA alliance partners. The titles also indicate whether the course is in German or in English.
If you know of other course offers between March 1 2026 and September 30 2026 that should be added to this list, please feel free to write us an email.
