Open Innovation in Science (OIS)
Research Conference 2025
The OIS Research Conference 2025 took place from May 14-16, 2025 at The Space, in Vienna. We – once again – collaboratively advanced our understanding of processes, effects, and boundary conditions of openness and collaboration in science, following the 2025 special conference theme: The Future of Academia-Industry Collaboration: Drivers, Opportunities, and Risks of Novel Forms of Engagement.

About the conference
Our annual OIS Research Conference brings together scholars from across disciplines who are interested in investigating and discussing the role and value of openness and collaboration in science. In addition to inspirational paper sessions, we also “walk the talk” by experimenting with novel ways to do our own research. In the past, we have co-conceptualized the OIS research field from scratch (Beck et al., 2020), co-developed research proposals with “users” of our research (Beck et al., 2021), explored how Artificial Intelligence will influence openness and collaboration in science (Beck, Poetz, & Sauermann, 2022) and how it can help with creating synergies between scientific and societal impact (Beck, Grimpe, Poetz & Sauermann, 2023).
