The Berlin Science Week provides international scientists and organisations with a stage to share insights into current topics, discuss challenges and envision the future together.
Over the course of ten days you can take part in discussions, workshops and many more activities. Find the full schedule here.
Berlin Science Week: November 01. – 10. Falling Walls Science Summit: November 07. – 09
The Royal Society of Chemistry has launched another new Open Access journal:
Energy Advances will have a broad subject coverage for every energy discipline. It welcomes research that reports solutions to energy and sustainability challenges and supports the advancement of several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
The journal is open for submissions and will be free to publish in until mid-2024.
Do you have any questions regarding Open Access? Feel free to check out this newly refurbished and updated information platform! The open-access.net platform now provides even more comprehensive information on the subject of Open Access and offers practical advice on its implementation.
Besides descriptions of the basic ideas of Open Access, you can also find detailed information regarding publishing, financing, legal issues and policy frameworks, as well as coordinated training workshops focusing on specific topics.
As its name implies, the OA Network can also be used for networking purposes such as Digital Focus Groups, Forums, or Events.
You can find more information on Open Access or the Open Access Network here.
On October the 25th this years Open Access Week is starting! In order to bring you up to speed on all things Open Access, the FHI library will host a short-form online introductory presentation.
The goal will be to give the participants a quick overview on what Open Access is, how it is benefical to you and in what ways the MPG supports the publishing of OA research. This will take no longer than 20 minutes.
The online courses will be held on: 25.10.2021 & 31.10.2021 at 12:00 pm
You can access the online roomhere. Accesscode: 404766
This October the winners of the annual Nobel Prizes have been announced, and we are proud to say that not one but two of our MPG scientists have had the honor of receiving this coveted award.
Physics: Together with two other laureates Klaus Hasselmann shares this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for:
“[…] groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems”
Hasselmann and Manabe laid the foundation of our knowledge of the Earth’s climate and how humanity influences it and are acknowledged for:
“[…] the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”
Chemistry: Benjamin List together with his co-laureat David MacMillen won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for:
“[…] the development of asymmetric organocatalysis”
They are credited with the invention of “an ingenious tool for building molecules” called organocatalysis, which has had a great impact on pharmaceutical research, and “has made chemistry greener”
