In this session we will see how many people are interested in which topic. Topic groups are usually comprised of 2-7 participants.
Topics that too few people are interested in will not be pursued further.
If groups get too big, we may split them into subtopics.Choosing a topic can be difficult, yet you should choose one ;)

The manufacture of concrete is responsible for around 6% of global CO2 emissions. This workshop explores the use of low carbon alternatives to concrete and other commonly used building materials. It makes full use of CAT’s unique collection of sustainable buildings and also covers the basic material properties commonly required in building design.
The tour covers the history of the site...

The story of water is an exploration of the role of water in our daily lives and to the health of the planet. A guided tour gives full guided access to CAT off grid water system, reservoir, water treatment facilities, hydro generator and water balanced railway. The tour ends at the CAT waste water treatment reed beds and finally the beautiful River Dulas.

For research to be effective, it must be both reproducible and replicable. Only then can false results be identified, existing findings built on and human error reduced. In short: meaningful and robust research can be done. However, research is often neither reproducible, nor replicable; this is often called a reproducibility crisis.

Peer review has a noise problem. The "reviewer lottery" means a manuscript's fate often depends on who is assigned, their topical familiarity, their individual priorities, and how much time they have that week. This idiosyncratic variance treats similar work inconsistently: a clear source of unfairness.
Large Language Models (LLMs) can substantially reduce this noise. Even non-deterministic...

"Open Research Across Disciplines" is a an interdisciplinary guide and collection of resources for engaging on open research across a range of academic disciplines. The format of the guide is a preprint, and the content from this preprint has also been adapted on the UK Reproducibility Network website (https://www.ukrn.org/disciplines/). The guide has existed for 5 years, and we run a yearly...

In this interactive lightning talk, I use "the castle" as a symbol to explore what really protects our open research data and software. While open science supports data, software, experimental results, and other research artefacts to be publicly available and FAIR, it is equally important to consider the security of the same. I will present a simple live ‘Castle Stress Test’, which would help...

The Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) is an open science institute based in Trier, Germany. Its mission is to encourage psychological researchers to adopt open science practices by offering tools such as the preregistration service PreReg (https://prereg-psych.org/) and the discipline-specific repository PsychArchives (https://psycharchives.org/). In my lightning talk, I will provide a...

Questionable research practices (QRPs) are well known and often discussed in meta-science circles—but how can we make them more memorable, understandable, and teachable beyond those? In this lightning talk, we present a set of 40 QRP Info Cards, each distilling one QRP into a compact, accessible format featuring a clear definition, examples, potential harms, preventive measures, and red flags...

Randomised controlled trials are often seen as transparency role models, given their seemingly high adherence to practices such as registration, sharing of protocols and statistical analysis plans. With nutrition research, however, this is not often the case. In this lighting talk I will present preliminary results of the work being done as part of my PhD and invite the audience to help solve...

Systems thinking is an approach to understanding the non-linear relationships between multiple interacting components of "a thing". That thing can be a manufacturing system, an ecological system, or even something less tangible, such as the system being implemented to support the adoption of open science. By effectively mapping the system, we better understand how the different components and...

Replication is a cornerstone of cumulative science, providing essential insights into the reliability of research findings. Yet, despite an increasing number of published replications, they often fail to affect the belief in, and use of, the original conclusions. Replications are infrequently cited, usually disregarded in theoretical discussions, and—except for striking exceptions—fail to...

These research software sharing, publication, and distribution checklists were inspired by similar checklists produced by the imaging community and are intended to address a niche not addressed by existing similar resources such as guidance for creating research software management plans. They provide a tiered approach to completing the checklists with each item able to be completed at a...

The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision......

Research about transgender, intersex, and nonbinary (TIN) communities has historically further marginalised us (TIN people) as a group. As a PhD candidate who is also trans and nonbinary, this research feels particularly dehumanising. For the sake of TIN people including myself, I am committed to conducting research that is co-produced by academics and communities and offers some sort of...

Taxonomy provides the foundation upon which most biological research is built, yet one of its most persistent obstacles lies in the lack of conceptual transparency regarding what, precisely, is meant by “species”. Although recent decades have seen advances in integrative approaches and molecular tools, many studies still fail to explicitly state the species concept guiding their analyses. This...
