Open Science Day at TU Wien
The first Open Science Day at TU Wien, organized by the TU Wien Library with the support of the Vice-Rector for Digitalization and Infrastructure, offers a dynamic platform for exchange, learning, and networking for researchers, academics, and students—whether you publish Open Access, manage research data, work with Open Source code, or engage in Citizen Science.
On the second session of the event, titled “Research Practices – From Open Access to AI,” two presentations by CySec faculty members were scheduled.
Marcus Huber from the Faculty of Physics delivered a talk on “Community-led publishing: Opportunities, challenges and pitfalls using the example of Quantum,” where he explored innovative models of scholarly communication that prioritize openness, collaboration, and community governance. This presentation addressed the potential benefits and drawbacks of such publishing frameworks in advancing scientific dissemination.
Following this, Laura Kovacs from the Faculty of Informatics presented on “Automated Reasoning,” providing insights into the latest advances in AI-driven methods for formal verification and logic. Her talk highlighted how automated reasoning techniques are transforming research practices by enabling more efficient and reliable verification of complex systems, thus contributing to enhanced rigor in computational science and cybersecurity. Together, these talks illustrated the dynamic intersection of open access initiatives and artificial intelligence in shaping the future of research methodologies.
