The CurveBend project focuses on halting biodiversity loss and promoting a nature-positive society through collective action at the landscape level. It studies the spatial needs of animals for various habitats on a landscape scale, as well as the demands people place on different parts of the landscape, and seeks solutions for their mismatches in co-creation with societal partners. With "boots on the ground," CurveBend works in three livestock-dominated regions: the lowland meadows of the Netherlands, the Argentine pampas, and the savannas in Tanzania/Kenya, to find innovative, applicable solutions for biodiversity restoration at a landscape scale that inspire worldwide.

Academia is increasingly concerned with demonstrating its “impact” on society and the communities it engages with. Yet impact is notoriously difficult to capture and measure. This short visit will allow a researcher from the sociology of science who specialises in the development and use of exploratory data visualizations to work on this problem with experts in tool development and novel approaches to scientometrics. The goal of this visit will be to prototype some approaches for visualising research impact by utilizing existing techniques like co-word networks in novel ways. In the process, the researchers will also consider the role that visualizations can play in facilitating different combinations of qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Science literacy is a crucial skill in todays society. In this project, young adults will be involved in citizen science focusing on an appealing topic, namely the role of music in society, ranging from public space to our own emotion regulation. It is precisely the individual differences in musical experiences that make this topic extremely suitable for citizen science. The results will be presented at a music-science festival, in addition to interactive science communication. The close collaboration between scientists, citizen science experts, and performing artists will ensure that scientific content is offered in an accessible way.

In recent years, Open Science initiatives have significantly increased the amount of (openly) available research data. These data are often shared with the idea that they will be reused, although reuse is not always guaranteed. This workshop aims to broaden the scope of open data efforts from focusing on developing data supplies (data sharing) to fostering data reuse. To this end, we will bring together different stakeholders to discuss key questions related to barriers and drivers for the reuse of research data, including questions related to motivation and stimulation of data reuse.

Opening up research is key to for globally inclusive knowledge creation. This is done through ensuring that research products and infrastructures are openly accessible to all users, and responsibly curated. Recent global events, however, have illustrated the vulnerability of Open Science to geopolitical influences. In the USA, Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza knowledge collections are threatened by politics and war. Recognising that these geopolitical pressures are unlikely to disappear, Open Science needs new strategies to safeguard open knowledge and the infrastructures that support them. This workshop starts the conversation of how to build up resilient and responsive open systems.
