Session description
Heterogeneous data management practices have left the research data ecosystem messy and cluttered, worsening the problem of data reuse.
To enable effective reuse, this ecosystem needs to be decluttered and organised. Efforts to address this include making data FAIR by promoting standard research data management practices.
Yet, while these efforts have received significant support, they have also encountered some resistance. Typically, reasons for such resistance pertain to the resource-intensive nature of data management.
In this special Open Access Week edition of the Research Data Insider, Anamika Chatterjee (PhD) will explore another reason for such resistance: scientists hold differing definitions of ‘purity’ and ‘pollution’.
Join this hands-on workshop to learn the essentials of crafting clear, engaging scientific posters.

Session description
Research funders, institutions, and academic journals increasingly require that raw data, where possible, be shared openly through public repositories. This boosts transparency and reproducibility of research, but also unlocks new possibilities through re-use, i.e. secondary data analysis.
When data is reused for purposes beyond its original intent, it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. What’s more, by combining datasets from different sources, researchers can uncover insights no single team would have been able to achieve alone, or build consensus on complex scientific questions.
Yet, making sense of someone else’s data isn’t always easy. What are the challenges of interpreting and integrating datasets generated by others? Why is it crucial that the FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Resuable, are followed when data are shared?
In this session, we’ll hear from two experienced practitioners of secondary data analysis. Join us to learn how FAIR data can lead to new discoveries — and what it takes to make that happen.

How will AI impact IFI and other organisations in the future? Technological factors was one of the key external strategic factors we discussed, at the department seminar, and in this talk, Petr Špecián (Charles University, Czech Republic), will provide an in-depth analysis of how AI challenges established organisational frames and provides the impetus for change.
The Geohazard day 2025 will take place on October 23rd-24th in Oslo. The organiser of this year's conference is the Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo.

The groundbreaking ideas of the resonant valence bond (RVB) liquid initiated a transformative shift in modern physics. Extensive implications influenced a broad spectrum of fields, from high-temperature superconductors to quantum computing, and gave birth to key concepts in physics, such as quantum spin liquids, emergent gauge symmetries, topological order, and fractionalisation. Despite extensive efforts to demonstrate the existence of an RVB phase, a definitive realisation has proven elusive.
Per August Jarval Moen is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo. He defended his PhD thesis in June 2025. Per August is mainly working within theoretical and methodological change and anomaly detection problems. More broadly, he is interested in high-dimensional problems, computational statistics and optimality theory.

Session description
Artificial intelligence is making its way into the research landscape, and in this OA week event we will explore whether it is possible to maintain open science ideals, such as openness, transparency, collaboration, and reproducibility alongside AI?
We will ask the question: How open can AI research be? Voices from several of Norway’s newly established national AI research centres will join us to discuss how they work with open science ideals.

Generative AI is here to stay. For physics educators, the question isn’t whether to use it, but rather how. In this talk I will reflect on the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into physics education.
The 2025 annual meeting of the Quantum and Computational Chemistry Chapter of the Norwegian Chemical Society will take place "lunch to lunch" on October 20th-21st at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

Sharing qualitative data poses many ethical, legal and practical challenges. At the same time, many qualitative datasets, for example rich interview data or video recordings, have a high reuse value and could provide unique benefits for researchers and communities when shared.
In this webinar we will be joined by three special guests from different disciplines and different areas of qualitative inquiry to discuss the unique contexts in which qualitative data sharing should not only be considered but also encouraged and those where a push for openness can lead to many ethical dilemmas or even harm.
Our answer is that one solution simply cannot fit all and qualitative data sharing should be assessed individually, taking into consideration contextual information on the background, method, research tradition and participating communities.
At the same time, we will also strive to provide here some general suggestions, guidance and/or inspiration for students, researchers and research support staff working with qualitative approaches or data sharing more broadly.
