Leibniz Educational Research Network (LERN)
The breadth and depth of the interdisciplinary scientific expertise of the Leibniz Research Network Educational Potentials on questions of formal, institutional and informal education is unique in Germany. The network has experts from educational science, didactics, neuroscience, economics, political science, psychology, linguistics, sociology, information science and computer science, among others, who conduct research on all relevant facets of educational potentials. Together with more than a dozen other Leibniz institutes, the DIPF has joined forces to share and further develop expertise in this thematic area. The DIPF is responsible for coordinating the research network.
DIPF collaborates with more than a dozen Leibniz institutes to make use of this expertise and develop it further. The coordination of the Leibniz Educational Research Network (LERN) lies at DIPF.

Leibniz Strategy Forum Open Science
The Leibniz Strategy Forum 'Open Science' supports the Leibniz Association and its institutions in the strategic development of Open Science. As a central contact point, it bundles open science activities across all sections and promotes their national and international visibility. It creates spaces for networking and exchange in order to institutionalise and codify open science strategies or to monitor open science. Knowledge exchange and networking take place in the LOS! event series, the Open Science Conference and the Barcamp Open Science. Activities are initiated in pilot projects to further advance and promote the opening of science in line with the Leibniz mission statement on Open Science. The Strategy Forum has 22 institutional members from all five Leibniz Scientific Sections.
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Marc Rittberger
Coordinators: Tamara Heck & Verena Weimer
