This seminar offers an accessible introduction to Open Science: What it is, why it matters, and what concrete steps researchers, students, and administrators can take to embrace it. The starting point is a diagnosis. Recent large-scale investigations reveal that a substantial portion of published findings across multiple scientific fields fail to replicate when independently tested, and that only a fraction of papers make their data available for reproducibility checks. What are the structural roots of these problems? Publication incentives, opaque methods, and the analytical flexibility that comes with undisclosed researcher choices. Building on this diagnosis, the seminar introduces the Open Science toolkit (pre-registration, open data and materials, transparent reporting, and open access), considering both their rationale and practical first steps to implement them. The seminar closes by situating these practices in the current policy landscape, where funders such as NIH and Horizon Europe now mandate open access and data sharing, making Open Science not just an ethical ideal but an increasingly concrete institutional requirement.
