Registration for workshops is now open

You can now register for the workshops being organised during the National Open Science Festival 2026. It promises to be an inspiring day of learning, sharing, and connecting with colleagues and fellow open science enthusiasts.

During the festival, there will be five rounds of 45 minutes workshops. If you have registered for the festival, you can now select your workshops via the registration platform, using your existing profile. 

All registered participants have received an email from the meeting secretariat with direct auto-login links to the registration platform. You can also log in here:

Register for workshops here

Please be aware that space is limited and workshops will fill up on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to sign up as soon as possible to secure your spot. You will have the opportunity to modify your workshop selections at a later time, depending on availability. However, we kindly request that you attend the workshops for which you have registered.

Not coming? Free your spot for someone else

We are delighted that there is such strong interest in the festival. Registration has now reached full capacity, which is why we have opened a waiting list. When participants cancel, people on the list can be admitted. 

Last year we had a no-show rate of over 20%. So if you have a ticket but already know you cannot attend, please cancel your registration so that someone else can take your place. To prevent no-shows as much as possible, we’re using a no-show list this year. If you don’t show up without cancelling, you won’t be able to register for future editions.
